llinois School Report Cards

The 2007 School Report Cards for Benjamin and Evergreen Schools and Benjamin School District 25 are now available on line by selecting the appropriate icon.  You can also request a printed copy from our school offices or the administration center.  The School Report Cards are compiled by the Illinois State Board of Education and contain a variety of information regarding our schools.  This information includes student performance on the Illinois State Achievement Test and district financial data.

The overall performance of Benjamin pupils was 92.6 percent while the state average was 73.8 percent of the students who met or exceeded state standards.  The Report Card also indicates that Benjamin District 25 schools meet the No Child Left Behind benchmark of Adequate Yearly Progress.  Criteria for Adequate Yearly Progress include the number of children tested, the scores of the tested students and attendance of students enrolled in school.  Further, the 2007 Report Card indicates that the cost to educate a pupil in Benjamin is just $486 above the state of Illinois average.   

Students in grades 3 - 8 took the ISAT reading and math assessments and students in grades 4 and 7 took the ISAT science assessments.  Students met or exceeded state standards at the 90 percent level in reading, math, and science in all grade levels with the exception of grades 3, 5, and 7 in reading!  Grades 3, 5, and 7 reading results ranged from 84% to 89% of the students meeting or exceeding state standards.

Benjamin District 25 students are achieving higher levels of excellence due to the combined efforts of students, parents, staff, and our community.  High performing schools are only possible because of a united commitment to provide the best possible education for our students!
