Our Commitment to Every Family

2025 Illinois Report Card

Summative Designation: Exemplary

Performing in the top 10% of schools statewide
No underperforming student groups

Designation Meaning & Use

Rating to Direct Resources: Designed by Illinois to comply with federal law which requires that more state resources go to the schools with the highest need, as defined by student performance.
Not Measuring Quality: Rating system is NOT designed to measure the quality of school practice — state board of education does not consider its role to be setting standards for every Illinois district.

State designations should NOT be used to make claims about the quality of practices present in a school.
