West Lincoln-Broadwell ESD #92 celebrates receiving the Summative Designation of Exemplary on the 2024 Illinois School Report Card

 

[October 28, 2024]    West Lincoln-Broadwell ESD #92 celebrates receiving the designation of Exemplary on the 2024 Illinois School Report Card, as the Illinois State Board of Education releases the 2024 Illinois Report Card, a detailed look at student performance data from the 2023-24 school year.

This designation is for schools performing in the top 10% in the State of Illinois. Find WLB’s annual Report Card at www.illinoisreport
card.com  which will be released (currently showing 2022- 2023 data) soon.

These gains reflect the district’s investments in the creation of new programs lead by content experts, updated curriculums, and increased professional development in areas of ELA, Math and Social/Emotional Learning.

“The creation of new programs has been in the works for several years now. I am thrilled to see the additional investment is paying off for our students,” said Superintendent Heather Baker. “The credit goes to the staff and faculty of WLB and the parents for supporting WLB in all aspects. Of course, I cannot forget our students who put in the hard work each and every day.”

One component of the School Report Card is the annual summative designation. Illinois is required by federal accountability law to assign each school a descriptor of how well it is meeting the needs of its students. This designation is based on several indicators of academic performance.

In addition to its impressive achievements in the past year, WLB is committed to continuous school improvement. In the upcoming school year, our educators and administrators look forward to focusing on the subject area of math and character development.

The Illinois Report Card provides the school community with an opportunity to reflect on last year’s strengths and discuss areas for continuous improvement. WLB believes every single student can meet high expectations and that parents/caregivers and community members are a critical partner in each child’s education.
