Note: In 2025, Illinois changed the scores students needed to reach to be considered proficient so that they would better match college and career expectations. Because of this change, 2024-25 results cannot be compared to past years.

Why This Matters

Proficiency shows how well students at a school are meeting state standards necessary to be ready for the next grade, college, or careers.

What It Can & Cannot Tell You

It Can Tell You:

  • Can show whether groups of students are meeting state expectations.
  • Can highlight where schools may need more support.

It Cannot Tell You:

  • Cannot capture everything students know or can do.
  • Cannot determine if a school is "good" or "bad" on its own — outside factors like demographics and resources also affect results.
