Beginning in 2018, each Illinois school is receiving a Summative Designation, a measure of progress in academic performance and student success.

Four Designations:

• Exemplary – Schools performing in the top 10 percent of schools statewide with no underperforming student groups.
• Commendable – A school that has no underperforming student groups, a graduation rate greater than 67 percent, and whose performance is not in the top 10 percent of schools statewide.
• Underperforming – A school in which one or more student groups is/are performing at or below the level of the “all students” group in the lowest-performing 5 percent of schools.
• Lowest Performing – A school that is in the lowest-performing 5 percent of schools in Illinois and any high school with a graduation rate of 67 percent or less.

Ivy Hall Elementary School has earned an EXEMPLARY DESIGNATION for the 2017-2018 school year.
