"Much about what is wrong with the Chicago Teachers Union’s approach to education can be seen at two schools within blocks on Chicago’s West Side, Manley High School and Chicago Hope Academy. The Chicago Public Schools institution is chronically under-enrolled and underperforming. The private parochial school has a long wait list and a 100% college acceptance rate."
“college acceptance rate” is a scam metric. Schools like Chicago State University will accept any student with a pulse. When I see any school touting its “college acceptance rate”, I know it’s a crappy school.
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.

All good schools I know go with X% continue to a 4-year college. ( some break it down more, 2-year college, military, etc)
Yes a meaningless metric since anyone can go to a college, But it is not just crappy schools touting this.
