When CPS Chief Jean Claude Brizard visited Jones College Prep, some students asked him if the CPS is going to open up more selective enrollment high schools, here is what he said. He said that neighborhood schools are still the "huge focus." However, “The city cannot only have selectives, but at the same time, when you look at 24,000, 25,000, 30,000 people applying for 5,000 seats across the city, clearly there is a need and there is a want and there is a demand for that kind of school,” Brizard said.
I'm not exactly sure how opening more Selective Enrollment High Schools will affect the city. I do know that out of the 9 varsity city championships last spring, 7 of them were won by selective enrollment high schools.
