The 2018 Illinois school report cards include a new system for reporting school performance that emphasizes students’ year-over-year academic growth. The state assigned each public school a rating that sums up its performance on multiple indicators.

Student growth
High schools and some other type of schools do not yet recieve growth measurements.
The growth level at this school is above/below average for English and above/below average for math. The measure is an average rate of student academic growth for a school over the past two years. It is calculated by comparing students’ year-over-year gains with peers who started out at the same achievement level on state English and math exams.
Student proficiency
The school report cards also include data about each school’s test proficiency, or the percent of students meeting grade-level expectations on the state’s standardized English and math exams.
