Chicago Public Schools (CPS) opened the GoCPS application window, allowing students and families to begin exploring their educational options for the 2024-25 school year. Through November 9, 2023, families of students who will be entering grades K-9 in the 2024-25 year can begin applying for a wide variety of academic programs available across the city. As part of the District’s ongoing effort to promote a more equitable enrollment process, CPS this year reduced the length of the District’s high school admissions test (HSAT) to one hour, down from two and a half hours, and will offer the assessment in six languages – instead of only English – for the first time this year.  In addition to attending their neighborhood school, students also have the opportunity to attend a variety of schools with programs to meet the diverse needs and interests of CPS students. Families can learn more at a GoCPS Information Session – available in both English and Spanish – by registering online. Students and families can use the GoCPS application to explore programs that best fit their needs. High school and elementary school applicants must complete the GoCPS application by 5 p.m. on November 9, 2023. Families will receive GoCPS offers during the Spring 2024 semester by email.
