​Neighborhood Program 

Enrollment is reserved for students that currently reside within the Coonley attendance boundaries (http://schoollocator.cps.k12.il.us/).  If you have moved outside of the Coonley attendance area in the last year your child should enroll in their new neighborhood school. CPS will initiate address verification procedures when inconsistencies in documentation arise. If enrollment is found to be fraudulent CPS will act in accordance with the District's Enrollment & Transfer Policy and a violation of said policy may include an immediate transfer to the student's appropriate home school. If families are found to be living outside the City of Chicago tuition may be charged. If your child was accepted to Coonley from outside the attendance boundary prior to June 30th, 2010, or through the Sibling lottery then Coonley becomes the home school for your child until graduation.

If you have questions, please call the school office 773.534.5140.

Out of Attendance Area Admissions (Siblings Included)

Students seeking admission to Coonley that reside outside of our attendance area must apply using the Options for Knowledge Standard Elementary Application available within the Options for Knowledge Guidebook or online at http://cps.edu/AccessAndEnrollment/Pages/Apply.aspx.

Regional Gifted Center

All Regional Gifted Centers in Chicago require testing for admission. Children are selected for entry based on their performance on an aptitude test administered by the Office of Academic Enhancement (OAE). 

For the 2019-2020 school year Coonley’s RGC programming will begin at 2nd grade. To apply to Coonley's Regional Gifted Center use the Selective Enrollment Elementary School Application from Chicago Public Schools. The application process is described on the CPS website and you can also download an application there during the application period, usually the beginning of October through mid December.
