Dear Burr Ridge 180 Families and Community Members,
Each year at the end of October, the State of Illinois releases school report cards. We are pleased to announce that both Anne M. Jeans Elementary and Burr Ridge Middle School have received a "Commendable" rating based on their performance on the April 2024 Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) scores. Anne M. Jeans achieved an overall index score of 49.69, while Burr Ridge Middle School earned an overall index score of 72.38.
Both Anne M. Jeans and Burr Ridge Middle School made significant progress in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the 2024 IAR assessment, exceeding pre-COVID-19 scores in ELA and increasing math by 1%. Both schools exceeded the state average in growth scores in ELA and Math. Our CCSD 180 School Improvement Team will continue to analyze the 2024 IAR data to identify areas for further growth.
The full report card can be accessed on the Illinois Report Card website at https://www.illinoisreportcard.com. Please let us know if you have any difficulties accessing the website.
For parents wishing to review their individual student's IAR test results, there are several options:
· IAR Parent Portal: Visit https://il-results.pearsonaccessnext.com to access your child's test results and resources that support their learning in ELA and Math. You can also add your student’s Spring 2024 test results to your user account for future reference.
· Video Individual Score Reports (Video ISRs): Personalized video reports are available through the IAR Parent Portal. These videos provide a guided overview of your child’s score report with animations and voiceovers, helping to explain the results in detail and directing you to tailored resources. We encourage you to watch these videos with your child and reach out to their teacher if you have any questions.
Individual School Reports for students who took the Spring 2024 IAR test were mailed to parents in August 2024. Each report includes a unique code and QR code for secure access to your child's results in the IAR Parent Portal. If you need assistance retrieving your child’s unique code, please contact their school. We also keep a copy of each student’s IAR results in their school files.
While we appreciate the "Commendable" designation for Anne M. Jeans Elementary and Burr Ridge Middle School, our district remains committed to a comprehensive approach to student evaluation. In addition to the IAR, we utilize MAP tests to establish a baseline for each student’s progress, enabling us to address any learning gaps effectively.
What matters most to us, and to you, is the academic growth of each student. Thank you for your ongoing support in preparing our students for success every day.
Sincerely,
Dr. Charlie Kyle
