To find out what schools are in your catchment area, you can use the CPS School Locator. This tool allows you to enter your address and find the elementary and high schools that fall within your attendance boundary. These are your neighborhood schools, and you have the option to send your child to them. However, some schools, such as magnet, selective enrollment, and military schools, have their own enrollment processes, which you can learn about at http://cpsoae.org. Charter schools are also an option, but they require an application and sometimes a lottery for enrollment.
