Chicago Public Schools Continue to Lose White Students
The Chicago Public School system continues to lose white students.Whites are now only 8.1% of the 420,982 students in the system.White students not in the CPS school system include the children of Democratic Governor Rod Blagojevich and Rahm Emanuel.It appears not everyone really believes in public education.No word yet from the urban lovers on when white people with children will move back to Chicago to put their kids in a patronage system.85.6% of students from low-income families.With 115 High Schools plus 16 Charter High Schools,CPS has 131 High Schools for 109,982 high school students.That comes to an average of only 840 students per school! Talk about waste,fraud,and inefficiency over half the high schools could be shut down.
