State DPI School Report Cards Came Out Thursday: Here's How Shorewood Performed

SHOREWOOD — School report cards released Thursday by the State Department of Public Instruction show that the Shorewood School District "exceeds expectations."

Scores are calculated for each of the following priority areas on the state report card:

• Student Achievement proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics on state assessments

• Student Growth measured by year-to-year improvements in achievement

• Closing Gaps in performance between specific student groups (comparing English language learners, low-income students, students with disabilities, and members of a racial or an ethnic group with their peers)

• On-Track and Post-secondary Readiness is a measurement using reliable predictors of high school graduation and potential post high school success

The state DPI then weighs those metrics in order to deliver schools and districts a score from 0 to 100., Schools and districts then fall into one of five categories ranging from “significantly exceeds expectations” to “fails to meet expectations.”

According to the DPI report cards, Shorewood garnered 82.8 points and garnered four stars, meaning it "exceeds expectations."

Here is how each school in the Shorewood School District Fared:

• New Horizons for Learning AR Alternate Rating - Satisfactory Progress
• Shorewood High 82.6 Exceeds Expectations
• Lake Bluff Elementary 79.1 Exceeds Expectations
• Atwater Elementary 76.9 Exceeds Expectations
• Shorewood Intermediate 70.40% Meets Expectations
