Report Card
Available
The 2007-08 district
report card is now available, as well as report cards for Antioch
and Lakes
High Schools. The report cards display data sets which provide important
information to the public about each school and the district. Some
of these data sets include attendance rates, graduation rates, test
scores on the Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE), test scores
on the ACT, truancy rates, enrollments, and per pupil expenditures.
The Achievement Committees at each high school use them to develop
their annual School Improvement Plans (SIP) along with a District
Improvement Plan. All improvement plans can also be viewed on the
District's website.

Cards or the SIPs, please feel free to contact the Superintendent
