Summative Designation
There are five possible designations.
Equity ● Quality ● Collaboration ● Community
Accountability Indicators
Summative Designations are
calculated by assigning each
school points for every
accountability indicator.
The indicators are weighted,
meaning, each indicator is
worth a different number of
total possible points.
On your online Report Card,
click Accountability, then click
Summative Designation.
This new visual on the Report
Card shows you the points your
school earned for each of the
accountability indicators.

Accountability Indicators

For elementary and middle
schools, student growth on
the Illinois Assessment of
Readiness is the biggest
category at 50% of the total
points.
For high schools, graduation
rate is the biggest category
at 50% of the total points.
Summative Designation Descriptive Statistics
By design, there will always be
Exemplary and Comprehensive schools,
as these are the top performing 10%
and lowest performing 5% of schools.
Most schools will be in the middle and
will be Commendable – or Targeted, if
they have a low performing student
group.
This new visual on the Report Card
shows you the points threshold for that
year for the bottom 5%
(Comprehensive) and the top 10%
(Exemplary). These points threshold
changes every year according to the
statewide data.
It also shows your school’s total points
in comparison.
