District 88 shares highlights of 2024 Illinois Report Card

At District 88, we work each and every day to build positive futures for our students inside the classroom and beyond. 

The results of the 2024 Illinois Report Card, which were released by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) on Oct. 30, show the successes of District 88 and reflect the efforts of our Board of Education, staff, students, parents/guardians and community members. 

District 88 successes and Report Card highlights include:

  • Addison Trail and Willowbrook again received a summative designation of Commendable, which is the second-highest level. According to the ISBE, “A school’s annual summative designation describes how well an individual school is meeting the needs of all its students … across a range of academic and student success indicators. Illinois has five summative designations within the statewide school accountability system: Exemplary, Commendable, Targeted, Comprehensive, and Intensive.” See the links below for more information.

  • Our 4-year, 5-year and 6-year graduation rates are above 90 percent and remain above the state level.

  • Our 9th Grade on Track number (which is the percentage of freshmen on track to graduate) is more than 94 percent, which is above the state level.

  • Our percent of students achieving at the proficient and exemplary levels on the Science Assessment is above the state level.
