Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has extended the GoCPS application window until 5 p.m. November 22. This extension gives students and families additional time to explore their educational options for the 2025-26 school year. Every student is guaranteed a seat within the general education program of the neighborhood school associated with their home address. However, students and families can use the GoCPS application to also explore additional programs that best fit their needs. Elementary and high school applicants must submit the GoCPS application by 5 p.m. on November 22, 2024. Families will receive GoCPS offers via email during the Spring 2025 semester. Families can apply to one of these programs even if their student is currently attending their neighborhood school or a non-CPS school. Families who wish to apply to selective enrollment programs will need to schedule their child(ren) for an entrance exam as part of the GoCPS application process. For more information and a list of all available programs, visit cps.edu/gocps. Families are invited to contact CPS’ Office of Access and Enrollment at (773) 553-2060 or gocps@cps.edu with any questions.
