Here is the article from WBEZ from 7/10/24: https://www.wbez.org/education/2024/07/10/the-path-to-a-cps-test-in-high-school-often-begins-at-age-4-with-a-test-most-dont-know-exists?
This is the Zoom recording accompanying the Spring Notification Elementary slidedeck and around minute 32, it also talks about this year’s changes. https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/play/Cmjz8WjDJrDVy-O6zRgvTkKJa1vixjgPoJ8_lia5PEqXJlk_cbbzZx-7U8C7xQW_vXs115Y6C36WY3dS.xKhuQtYmGNamiJUd?accessLevel=meeting&canPlayFromShare=true&from=share_recording_detail&startTime=1743789922000&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2F5fuFu1dYpUQOkimwAnEO_uGggZlGS_mlHN3dQ3hN4E7VSDGcOsIrXQBF_hoObHCd.pkkBO7lq8c2PnnHJ%3FstartTime%3D1743789922000
Here is information on the Rolling Waitlist process: https://www.cps.edu/gocps/elementary-school/results/rolling-waitlist/
For choice programs, your student will remain on a waitlist for any program ranked higher than the one they were offered. Waitlists move until January and waitlist numbers can go up or down depending on priority categories (i.e. siblings for Choice programs are higher priority than unaffiliated students).Post Spring 2025 SEHS & Choice High School results in this thread: https://chicagoschooloptions.com/forums/topic/spring-2025-cps-hs-results/

You cannot be on a Selective Enrollment Waitlist or see waitlist numbers at all if you accept an initial Selective Enrollment offer. You can ONLY be on a Selective Enrollment waitlist if you turn down your initial offer and join the Rolling Waitlist starting on 4/21/25. To avoid turning down a selective enrollment offer, you will need to accept the offered school and then do Principal’s Discretion to be considered for one of your other Selective Enrollment choices.
Principal’s Discretion (for SEHS only) https://www.cps.edu/gocps/high-school/results/principal-discretion/ is open from 3/19/25-4/4/25.

Tiers for 2025-2026 were set around when the application opened in Fall 2024. If you visit the school search tab https://www.cps.edu/gocps/gocps-school-search/ and turn on the CPS Tier overlay and click on a tier, you will see the language that confirms that:
“Valid for the 2025-2026 application process that takes place during
the 2024-2025 School Year.”Apparently Drummond issued acceptances to all those who applied for PK3 but then had to retract those offers later that day after realizing the mistake.
I believe simply accepting an offer in the portal will not put the wheels in motion to unenroll you from your current seat and enroll you in your accepted seat. I do not think you are pulled from a spot until you register your child at the new school and then that starts the process to withdraw from their current school.
This is definitely both sad and frustrating as an administrator because after years of being fairly smooth, for some reason this winter the site security changed. After spring break we will try again to resolve this issue. Thanks for your patience and encouragement because we fully believe this site is extremely valuable as a “for parents, by parents” forum.
