The Way to Segregate Chicago Style

As far as I can tell after trying to go through the report cards Chicago Public Schools submitted to the Illinois State Board of Education, there are at this moment (January 4, at 3:15 P.M.) 21 full four year Charter high schools.  Only one has White students it reports.  Only two have more than half of their 11th graders meeting or exceeding state reading standards.  None that reported has students who score at or above the state average ACT composite (20.6).  None reports the actual teacher qualifications, but use the statistics reported by the District (42.4% White; 19.5% Black; 14.2 % Hispanic & 3.3% Asian), with average teacher salaries of $71,000, and average administrators' salaries of $111,000.  You can't blame the corporations for wanting in on some of these dollars.
