RENAISSANCE SCHOOLS HIERARCHY There are three different types of Renaissance schools, a Charter School , a contract school, and a performance School.
CRITICISMS President of the Chicago Teacher's Union , Marilyn Stewart has openly opposed Renaissance 2010 perceiving it as a machine designed to dismantle public education. She pointed out that charter schools have a history of low-performance on standardized test scores, dismissing them as an alternative to good public education in Chicago. Stewart also pointed out that teachers at charter schools are not subject to the same scrutiny under No Child Left Behind as Chicago public teachers, further supporting her claim that education at the schools in question are a poor substitute. LIST OF RENAISSANCE SCHOOLS Chicago will have an estimated 100 Renaissance schools by 2010. This is a growing list of schools that fall into the Renaissance category. Please note that all schools are listed with their respective addresses, and located within Chicago's city limits. The schools listed below are so-called "newly constructed schools."
