Steger School District 194's ISBE School Report Card

The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) released the annual School Report Card on October 30, 2019 at www.illinoisreportcard.com. The Report Card shows how well schools are progressing on a wide range of educational goals.

According to the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) data released, we are proud to share that all three Steger School District 194 schools attained the summative designation of “Commendable” per ISBE benchmark metrics. A “Commendable” designation, which is the second highest designation a school in Illinois can earn, and recognizes a school that has no underperforming student sub-groups at or below the all students group of the lowest 5 percent of all Title I schools, and is not in the top 10 percent of schools statewide.

Per ESSA’s designation criteria schools are ranked on a number of indicators. Elementary and middle school designations are based on students’ Math, English, Language Arts, Science, Special Education and English Learners proficiency as well as Math and English Language Arts growth. Indicators also include data related to the annual 5Essentials survey, and chronic absenteeism rates.

Our continued progress reflects the investments we have made possible by Evidence-Based Funding and Title Grants. Our school board, administrators, teachers, and staff, in partnership with our communities, are continuing to focus on continuous improvement efforts.

We at Steger School District 194 hold high expectations for all students and believe every student can meet our expectations with the right supports. Thank you for your continued partnership to ensure every child in Steger School District 194 is thriving.
