AVERAGE FINANCIAL INDICATORS
Equalized assessed valuation (EAV for 1997) includes all computed property values, less homestead exemptions and adjustments for tax abatements, upon which a district’s local tax rate is calculated.
Total school tax rate (1997) is a district’s total tax rate as it appears on local property tax bills.
Instructional expenditure (1998-99) includes the direct costs of teaching pupils or the interaction between teachers and pupils. Instruction has a very narrow and restrictive definition.
Operating expenditure (1998-99) includes Instructional Expenditures, costs of Pupil Support Services, Instructional Staff Support Services, School Administration, Business Support Services, Central Support Services, Community Services, Debt Services, Payments to Other Governmental Units for Services Provided, and Central Administration Services.
All the above financial indicators
were divided by the 9-month Average Daily Attendance to derive the per
pupil figures.

When interpreting the achievement data of smaller schools or districts, please note that the performance of a small number of students can substantially affect a school’s achievement data. Thus, changes from one year to the next may be due to changes in the performance of a small group of students.
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATE
The graduation rate is calculated
by comparing the number of 1999-00 graduates with the number of students
enrolled in ninth grade in the fall of 1996. Adjustments have been made
for students who transferred into and out of the district in the last four
years.

IEP has a disability and is required to have a written statement of needed
special education and related services that must be provided to the child
under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

ILLINOIS STANDARDS ACHIEVEMENT TESTS (ISAT)
The following tables show the percentages of students in each of four performance levels. The levels were established with the help of Illinois educators who teach the grade levels and learning areas tested.
Level 1 – Academic Warning. Students’ work shows an inconsistent command of the basic knowledge and skills. Students have major gaps in their knowledge and skills and little ability to apply them. They may have serious errors or misunderstandings.
Level 2 – Below Standards. Students’ work shows basic knowledge and skills in the learning area. However, students have some gaps in their learning and can apply it only in limited ways.
Level 3 – Meets Standards.Students’ work shows knowledge and skills in the learning area. Students consistently use and apply their knowledge and skills to solve problems.
Level 4 – Exceeds Standards. Students’ work is outstanding and shows comprehensive knowledge and skills in the learning area. Students consistently use their knowledge and skills to solve problems and evaluate the results.
