There are many, many ingredients that go into making a school, and in turn, the students successful. Yes, money makes a difference. Certainly terrific teachers are crucial. Parent involvement has been proven to be critical.
When it comes to CPS I have found that a couple of other elements that help to make a positive impact on student learning. Over these recent years I have witnessed successful CPS schools which have a strong LSC presence and stability in the building administration to be the ones most prone to having a direct bearing on the success of the students.
No, I don't have scientific data to back this up but I have witnessed progress in other ways; students being content, test scores holding or improving, attendance rates rising, and students engaging in a variety of other activities.
Just some observations!!
