One-third of Chicago Public Schools are less than half full – Illinois Policy

The least-utilized school in CPS is Frederick Douglass Academy High School, which listed an ideal capacity of 888 students but only enrolled 34 students in the 2022-2023 school year. The school used just 4% of its space, which includes a swimming pool. Nearly three-quarters of those enrolled students were chronically absent.

Wow, could CTU pink slips and a property tax reduction be just around the corner?
