Student Proficiency

This measures the percentage of students meeting grade-level standards and is based on state-required testing. The district provides proficiency percentages at the school, network, and district to allow for comparisons. Scores are provided for multiple years; however, the state is currently resetting grade-level benchmarks, and school year 2024–2025 data will not be comparable to prior years.

Why This Is Measured

Proficiency on state assessments is a component of post-secondary readiness, a key goal of Chicago Public Schools, and it helps us better understand how students are doing. However, student proficiency rates can be influenced by many outside factors and are not a measure of school quality. The percentage of students proficient is also part of the state's accountability system.

Students are tested at the following grade levels:

  • Grades 3–8: Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR)
  • Grade 9: PreACT 9
  • Grade 10: PreACT 10
  • Grades 11–12: ACT
