Citywide numbers count every Chicago Public Schools student together, so bigger schools weigh more than small ones. It answers "out of all CPS students, how many are covered?" rather than averaging schools of very different sizes.

Required health exams: 0 students were not yet compliant at the October snapshot.

Students counted as not up to date include those with a religious or medical exemption and those still catching up on an approved schedule. Numbers are a single snapshot taken each October 15 and reported to the state in November. Grades with fewer than ten students are withheld by CPS, so some totals cover only part of the school.

Reported for the 2025-26 school year by Chicago Public Schools / ISBE. Updated once a year.
