How did my DeKalb County school do on the 2026 Illinois School Report Card? — Elgin Arts news

Each year, the Illinois State Board of Education grades schools across the state in how they compare to their peers.The rankings – exemplary, approaching exemplary, commendable, and developing – are a change from last year. Previously, schools were ranked in comparison to each other, so the top 10% of schools were deemed exemplary and the bottom 5% comprehensive. Now, the Illinois State Board of Education judges each school against fixed statewide criteria. Ratings are based mainly on proficiency, growth, and, for high schools, graduation rate. A school where any student group is rated comprehensive can be rated no higher than commendable.Search below to see how your school did this year and last.
