Elementary School Student Performance

Elementary School Student Performance:  The students in DuPage elementary schools generally perform above the statewide average on the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT).  The tests are used to measure school performance relating to statewide standards by measuring the performance of students in these schools.  A student’s performance can be a good indicator (but not the only one) of academic success in school and, by inference, in future life.  The data suggest that low income and minority students do less well on these tests, and this disparity should be addressed.
