The average share of Chicago Public Schools freshmen who graduate from a four-year college has increased, according to a report by the Consortium on Chicago School Research at the University of Chicago, which updated its 2006 study. The increase is driven by a climbing CPS high school graduation rate that more closely aligns with the national average.

In 2006 about 8 out of 100 CPS freshmen were expected to graduate with a four-year degree by their mid-20s.

This year about 14 out of 100 CPS freshmen are expected to graduate with a four-year degree by their mid-20s. This is lower than the national average of 18.
