For all of those who believe that the only or even the primary reason why CPS has fewer than 10,000 students this year is due to the poor quality of schools I have one thing to say. You are wrong! That's right, you are not well informed on the overall conditions in the neighborhood and what is going on with regard to other factors that have caused an enrollment decrease.
When the city neglects large swaths of a portion of the city with regard to infrastructure, jobs, social services and more then why would parents/residents stay in such conditions. They have little choice but to look for a better location which will afford them and their children something better.
Unless and until the conditions that drive people away from the southside and southwest portions of the city the school system will continue to lose students.
