Data on the racial and ethnic composition of the Chicago Public Schools student population are presented in this report, which is based on a teacher-observation survey taken on October 30, 1981. The information is used in the development of reports required by various State and Federal agencies, and for the review and analysis of the characteristics of students attending Chicago public schools. The entire report consists of four statistical tables: (1) Comparison of Student Racial/Ethnic Survey with previous year; (2) Summary of Survey by Type of School/Program; (3) Summary of Survey by District; and (4) School-by-School Listing of Survey, arranged by District.
