In the suburbs, yes. But we live in Chicago itself (most people who say they live "in" Chicago actually live in the suburbs, but we are actually *in* the city), so my daughter is in city schools.
Cheer is not a thing in city schools. Pretty much if you go to tryouts, you're in. No drama. And the 2 high schools we're applying to don't even have football, so there really isn't much cheerleading. She'll probably do it just to get the extracurriculars, but it's not really a thing (I don't think they compete, but maybe?)
But yes, in the suburbs, from what I see on Facebook and hear from moms in the parent room while mine is taking tumbling... D. R. A. M. A. [emoji15] [emoji15] [emoji15]
