Uplift High School has only about 100 students. Can the community and CPS save it from being a ‘failed experiment’? – Chicago Tribune/MSN

Students leave at the end of the school day at Uplift Community High School in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood on Oct. 28, 2022.While Uplift was founded with the expectation its student body would primarily come from Uptown, it’s not designated a neighborhood school by Chicago Public Schools. Without a consistent stream of incoming students, or draws like International Baccalaureate or performing arts programs, its enrollment stands at 107 students. Last year, the school used less than 10% of its space.

Here’s a thought. Let’s close this facility and return a dollar to each Chicago property taxpayer!
