Why 7th Grade Matters

In Chicago, 7th grade is not just another year.

Your child's 7th grade grades play an important role in high school admissions.

For many families, this is the year grades begin shaping future high school options.

Seventh grade does not define your child.

But it does influence opportunity.

The good news?

You do not have to leave this to chance.

If your child is capable of earning an A or keeping one, this is the year to ensure it happens.
