As a parent, you want to make the best choice for your child's academic future. Here in Chicago, we are lucky to have some of the finest public schools in the state at our doorstep. However, navigating the application and selection process for those schools can be confusing, time-consuming, and overwhelming.

How do I identify my neighborhood school? What's the difference between a magnet and a magnet cluster school? What do I need to know about preparing my child for the gifted test? What are the best elementary schools in Chicago? What questions should I be asking when I go on school tours? Didn't CPS change the rules last year?

If you've been asking yourself these questions are not sure where to start, you've come to the right place! I provide clear, concise, reliable, up-to-date information for parents who are wondering about their public school options, including preschool, elementary, and high school.
