Chicago Cityscape has updated its schools map, shown within the Amenities & Social infrastructure sections of Place Reports and Property Reports, for the 2023-2024 school year. This year, there are 5,840 schools in the Illinois State Board of Education database of public, non-public, and other schools. This is compared to 5,625 schools for the 2022-2023 school year. 

The difference in numbers is due to our inclusion of regional programs this year (141 regional programs), 33 additional non-public special education schools, 7 additional non-public schools, 1 additional other school, 1 fewer state-authorized charter school, and 4 fewer public special education schools.

In Property Report for properties in Chicago, school locations are used in the Cannabis Compliance section, as city code requires that dispensaries are more than 500 feet away from school boundary lines.

Chicago Cityscape also has an exclusive statewide schools map (membership required), which can be filtered by municipality and school type.
