How do you get into YCCS-West Town Acad Alternative HS?

Does YCCS-West Town Acad 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.
