CPS help was short-lived for Chicago schools that absorbed students from schools closed in 2013 – Chicago Sun-Times

In 2012-2013, the 49 so-called welcoming schools enrolled a total of 17,301 students. The next school year, when the buildings took in kids from the closed schools, their enrollment shot up to 26,328. Since then, though, they’ve lost an average of about 5% each year and now have 16,281 kids.
