About

The Illinois State Board of Education released the 2024-25 Illinois School Report Cards on Oct. 30, 2025. Below are links to the interactive report card published by the state. 

At the December 2, 2025 Board of Education meeting, the district's Teaching & Learning Department presented the data from the 2025 Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR). The data shows that District 28 student proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math ranks among the highest in the state. The IAR is one of the assessments used by the district to monitor student success. It is a standardized assessment that measures student knowledge and skills by grade level in grades 3-8. Click here to view the presentation.

Science Results
The team also shared results from the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA), which is administered to 5th and 8th-grade students. At NBJH, 85% of students are at or above proficient in Science. At the elementary schools, 70-75% of students are at or above proficient in Science. Statewide, 45% of students are at or above proficient in Science.

Using Data to Drive Student Growth
"Our achievement data helps us understand how well students are developing foundational academic skills," said Dr. Kris Raitzer, Assistant Superintendent. "It gives us a picture of where students are excelling and where we might need to make adjustments so that students can build the full set of abilities required to thrive in school and contribute meaningfully beyond it." During the meeting, D28 principals shared how their teachers analyze student performance, adjust instructional strategies, and design student supports based on the results. Click here to view their presentation.
