Chicago Public School students are enrolling in college at rates higher than the national average, according to a new report by UChicago’s To&Through Project and Consortium for School Research.

Why it matters: Higher college enrollment rates can translate into higher earnings for CPS students, 71.8% of whom face economic disadvantages.

The big picture: With so much focus on turmoil at CPS, the data offers a moment to celebrate a district that, unbeknownst to many, is seen as a national leader in some areas.
