To tell a more accurate story of your school district
Simply reporting percentages from the Illinois report card does not give the full picture of student achievement. Metrics reported on the Illinois report card need to be put in context so that the board and community have a more complete picture of how the district is performing. ECRA’s Illinois Report Card Analysis converts raw report card metrics to percentiles that are easier to communicate, easier to understand, more accurate, and more contextualized.
To answer important questions
Percentiles can be used to compare performance across indicators and over time to answer important questions such as:
- How well is the district recovering from the pandemic?
- What is the relationship between district spending and student achievement?
- How have our demographics shifted?
- How has our learning environment evolved?
