Northside College Prep is a CPS High School located on the north side of Chicago. Northside’s students reside all over Chicago and are a vibrant reflection of Chicago - resilient, diverse and driven. The students come from all walks of life including: 65% minority, 27% first generation, 38% low income, and 13% special education.
Friends of Northside is a non-profit group comprised of parents committed to fundraising to support the school and help ensure Northside maintains unparalleled educational standard, along with extracurricular activities. CPS only covers a portion of what Northside needs to provide the level of educational experience for our students. Examples of the funding by Friends of Northside include after school tutoring, a wellness center, athletics, a counseling clerk, student clubs, teacher/leadership stipends as well as updating outdated resources and equipment.
