Each year, the Illinois State Board of Education grades schools across the state in how they compare to their peers.
The rankings – comprehensive, intensive, targeted, commendable and exemplary – are a change from previous designations under the No Child Left Behind Act that labeled schools as “failing.”
Instead, these rankings deem the top 10% of schools statewide exemplary and the bottom 5% comprehensive. The majority of schools receive the commendable designation unless they have one or more student group performing in the bottom 5%. If that’s the case, then they’re targeted.
