MAP testS For the 2019-2020 school year, CPS will utilize the Northwestern Evaluation Association Measures of Academic Progress (NWEA MAP) for the eligibility/selection process for students applying to grades 5-9 to Selective Enrollment Elementary Schools and high schools with academic requirements including, but not limited to, CTE-College and Career Academies, IB High Schools, Magnet High Schools, and Military Academies, and Selective Enrollment High Schools.
For students who did not attend a CPS school during the 2017-2018 school year, will not attend a CPS school in September 2018, and will be applying to any of the aforementioned schools for grades 5-9 for the 2019-2020 school year, the NWEA MAP will be offered free of charge at multiple locations around the city. Registration forms for the NWEA MAP are now being accepted. In order for students to be scheduled to test in October, the registration form must be received by the Office of Access and Enrollment no later than September 7, 2018. You are STRONGLY encouraged to register your child to take the NWEA MAP Test. Test Dates: September 15-16; September 22-23; and September 29-30, 2018. PLEASE NOTE that your child cannot be considered for any school with minimum eligibility requirements if he/she does not take the NWEA MAP that is administered by the Chicago Public Schools system. Follow this link for information on how to register. The CPS.edu website is currently under maintenance, but school mid-way through the page and you will find the link to register as a parent. |
