Parents probably know when to expect their children’s report cards, but they might not know their local schools are graded too.
New public data was just released as part of the annual Illinois Report Card, including information about student and teacher demographics, ACT scores, class sizes, graduation rates, college readiness, and financial information.
Statewide, Illinois averages a class size of 21, an 85 percent graduation rate, and total enrollment of more than 2 million students across 3,764 schools.
School-by-school results of Illinois’s PARCC tests (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career) are expected later this month.
