Students in third to eighth grades who took the Illinois Assessment of Readiness in spring of 2024 saw an improvement in their math scores from the previous school year, but scores were lower than they were in 2019, signaling that students had yet to rebound from the pandemic, according to the state’s 2024 report card.

Let’s get a nationwide standard and set it. This nonsense of each state assessing to their own standards to cover up the dismal performance of their respective school systems is only so much smoke and mirrors. Can anyone really trust that any entity in a state such as IL is truthful? They’ve been proven to be otherwise more often than not, especially when a FOI act has to be filed to gain any information about things that are supposed to be “ transparent “.
