{School/District} Community,\nThe Illinois State Board of Education has released the annual Illinois Report Card at \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.illinoisreportcard.com/\" \\h \u0014www.illinoisreportcard.com\u0015 {make this a direct link to your school’s Report Card webpage}. The Report Card contains school performance data from the 2024-25 school year.\nSchools are more than test scores. They are a home away from home for our students and staff. Our schools focus not only on academic success but also on caring for the whole child. We aim to equip each and every one of our students with a well-rounded education that prepares them for success in their lives and chosen careers. We strive to forge strong bonds with families, build community, and prepare our students to thrive in the next step of their educational journey.\nOn our 2025 Report Card, we are especially proud to see and celebrate:\n{Highlight positive data points; for elementary and middle schools, consider highlighting improvements in proficiency rates and growth percentiles; for high schools, consider highlighting graduation rates; for all schools, consider highlighting improvements in chronic absenteeism.}\nThese results reflect the investments we have made in {highlight key programs aligning to school improvement or strategic plan; for elementary and middle schools, considering highlighting investments in literacy; for high schools, consider highlighting investments in CTE or advanced coursework}.\nImportantly, this year, the Illinois State Board of Education has recalibrated its benchmarks for proficiency and established new unified performance levels for all state assessments, so our {school/district}’s 2025 proficiency rates establish a new baseline for student performance and cannot be compared to prior years. You can learn more about this change in this \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.isbe.net/Documents/Right-Sizing-Benchmarks-for-Families.pdf\" \\t \"_blank\" \u0014fact sheet\u0015.\nDespite the change in benchmarks, we can still compare progress across years using the Student Growth Percentile for grades 3-8.

In the coming year, we hope to improve {discuss one to two metrics from the Report Card that indicate areas for growth; consider highlight chronic absenteeism and attendance}.

It identifies schools for support and describes how well our school is meeting the needs of all students based on eight indicators of performance. Indicators include {list a few \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.isbe.net/Documents/IRC-2025-Multiple-Indicators.pdf\" \\h \u0014indicators\u0015 that apply to your grade range}.\nOur summative designation of {Exemplary/Commendable/Targeted Support/Comprehensive Support/Intensive Support} means {refer to the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.isbe.net/Documents/How-to-Tell-Your-Summative-Designation-2025.pdf\" \\h \u0014How to Tell Your Summative Designation Story\u0015 guide for suggested key messages}.
