LINCOLN SQUARE — Schools in Lincoln Square and North Center remain among the top performers in the district, according to the latest school quality ratings released by Chicago Public Schools.
Under a system that assigns schools one of five ratings —from Level 3 (requiring intensive support) to Level 1+ (in good standing) — the vast majority of neighborhood schools received the top Level 1+, in a repeat from 2015.
Budlong Elementary, 2701 W. Foster Ave., showed the greatest change, leapfrogging from Level 2+ to Level 1+.
The ratings take into account a variety of achievement and growth measurements, including attendance, test scores and whether a school is considered "well organized."
