How do you get into YCCS-Jane Addams Alternative HS?

Apply through GoCPS by November 13. Check the school's own page for the programs it offers and whether any require the HSAT, an audition or an information session.

Does YCCS-Jane Addams Alternative HS have a ranking?

No — and neither does any CPS school. The district retired its 1+/1/2+ school levels, so any ranking you see comes from a third party, not CPS. What CPS does publish is on this page: the graduation and college-enrollment rates beside the district average.

CPS publishes no school ranking — it retired its 1+/1/2+ levels — so these sit beside the district average rather than a position in a list.
