UNO ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOLS

UNO Academy Charter Schools is a public charter school that is part of the Chicago Public Schools Dist 299 school district, located in Chicago, IL.

UNO Academy Charter Schools (often referred to as the United Neighborhood Organization) is a network of public charter schools based in Chicago, Illinois. Historically, the network was established with a mission to provide high-quality educational opportunities to underserved neighborhoods, with a particular focus on serving the city’s growing Hispanic population. By operating as charter schools, they function with greater autonomy regarding curriculum and management than traditional public schools while remaining tuition-free and open to the public.

In recent years, the organization has undergone significant rebranding and restructuring, evolving into what is now known as **Acero Schools**. This transition was aimed at increasing administrative transparency and refining the academic model to better serve students from kindergarten through high school. Today, the network emphasizes college readiness, data-driven instruction, and the integration of cultural identity into the classroom, operating multiple campuses across Chicago with a commitment to closing the achievement gap for students in the communities they serve.
