The students, in their trademark uniform blazers and ties, publically announced where they would attend college. For the first graduating class of Chicago’s only public all-male, all-African-American charter high, the declaration was monumental. Many of the students at the school, which is in one the city’s roughest neighborhoods, are the first in their family to go to college. Only 4 percent of them read at grade level when they started four years ago, school officials said.
