Original Research by School Decision on Infinity Math Science & Tech Hs
Infinity Math, Science & Tech High School is a public school serving grades 9 through 12, located in Chicago's Midtown neighborhood. The school enrolls a small student body, with roughly balanced grade cohorts across all four years.
The student population is nearly entirely Hispanic, with a very small number of students identifying as Black, Asian, or from other backgrounds. Free-and-reduced-price lunch data was not available, nor was enrollment data for students receiving special education services or English learners, which are typical data points reported in district summaries. State testing results and graduation rates were not provided, so readers cannot assess academic proficiency or completion outcomes from this profile.
Chicago Public Schools, the parent district, sits in the final phase of a transition to a fully elected 21-member school board. The first ten board members were elected in November 2024, with the remaining seats to be filled in November 2026. This marks a shift away from the mayor-appointed governance model that long defined the district. At the same time, the district has adopted a strategic plan called "Together We Rise" that emphasizes neighborhood schools over the choice-based enrollment pathways (selective enrollment, magnets, charters) that have shaped CPS for decades. While the district has stepped back from immediate changes to those programs, the policy direction signals a reorientation of resources and priorities toward families choosing their attendance-area school.
The district launched new school accountability dashboards in December 2024 in place of its longtime numeric ratings, broadening how schools are evaluated beyond test scores and attendance to include experience and resource measures. Across all district-managed schools, CPS rolled out Skyline, a PreK-12 universal curriculum covering six content areas, beginning in 2022. This was the first comprehensive district-wide curriculum in CPS history, available to all schools at no additional cost.
Chicago itself is a large, mixed-use city with walkable neighborhoods, a robust transit network including 24-hour rail service, and diverse residential and commercial corridors. The city has resumed population growth after nearly a decade of decline, and new housing development has concentrated downtown and along the North Lakefront, though the Near West Side led neighborhood approvals in 2025. Housing values in the school's zip code are below both state and national benchmarks, and rental costs are moderate. The mortgage-to-income ratio and rent-to-income ratio both fall below national thresholds, making the area relatively affordable compared to the country overall.
For a school of this size and composition, available community context is limited. A parent considering this school should request from the school or district whatever state testing data, graduation rates, course offerings, and student support details may exist but are not included here, as those specifics matter greatly to understanding the academic experience and student outcomes.
