DISTRICT 140 STUDENTS ACHIEVE

 

District 140 is proud of its students and the academic success they make on state tests as well as on daily classroom assignments.

 

The Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) and the Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE) measure the degree to which student achievement meets Illinois learning standard guidelines of what all students should know and be able to do as the result of their public schooling.

As part of the PSAE, all Juniors are required to take the ACT Test. The scores on the next page include results from all students tested and students who take a college core curriculum.

The tables on the adjoining page show the percentages of student scores in each of four performance levels as defined below.  These levels were established with the help of Illinois educators who teach the grade levels and learning areas tested.  Due to rounding, the sum of the percentages in the four performance levels may not always equal 100.
