flag Illinois graduation rate hits 15-year high at 89%, but ACT scores and equity gaps remain below pre-pandemic levels.

flag Illinois’ 2025 school report card shows a 15-year high graduation rate of 89%, driven by $3 billion in state funding for AP courses and credit recovery, though ACT scores remain below pre-pandemic levels. flag Proficiency rates rose due to lowered standards in English and math, making past comparisons invalid. flag Chronic absenteeism declined to 25.4% statewide but remains high, especially in Chicago, where nearly half of high schoolers were chronically absent. flag While some districts saw gains in attendance and test scores, persistent equity gaps in achievement and teacher qualifications persist across the state.
