Most parents don’t know just how badly Illinois schools fail their children. In Chicago, only 17% of black, 21% of Hispanic and just over half of white students are able to read at grade level, and yet the system graduates 83% of students. The same façade is on display in Rockford, Peoria, Decatur, Waukegan and many other cities across the state.
To take down that façade, Wirepoints has just launched a new version of its School Report Cards, updated with 2023 Illinois State Board of Education data, for all 3,600 schools and 865 school districts in Illinois. Parents deserve to know the truth – that many Illinois Kids Can’t Read.
