Recently, The State Board of Education released school report cards for each public school in the state of Illinois. In an effort to provide clarity to parents and local residents, each year Berwyn CARES prepares a summary of school report card data for Berwyn's 13 schools along with an analysis of where each school ranks within the State of Illinois. This information for 2011 will be posted on this blog and our website very soon.
This December CARES will once again host a town-hall style meeting to address the ‘State of the Test Scores’. This event will take place on December 6, 2011 at 6:30 PM at the Berwyn Public Library. School district administrations have been invited to provide a short presentation on where each district is headed. There will be an opportunity for the audience and a CARES panel to ask additional questions and discuss the accomplishments and the challenges our schools face in light of this new data.
Please plan to attend and spread the word to your friends and neighbors. This is a great chance to become informed about YOUR schools and to join the discussion.

That clarity will be a good thing. I recall one public school displayed flyers that encouraged parents to celebrate that some elementary grades had achieved a certain degree/amount of progress on AYP. While that was being celebrated, some parents and grandparents I knew didn't understand the core issues and how "at-risk" these students were. We, parents, can't place enough value on education and delivery of FAPE. It's really good to see that you continue to advocate for this! Thank you for your work, Shelly, it is appreciated.
