The 2026 Illinois Report Card is out, and Prairie Grove Elementary and Prairie Grove Junior High each earned an Exemplary rating. That’s the highest rating the state gives, and only about 28% of Illinois schools earned it this year. Students improved in every tested subject, including a 9-point jump in 3rd-grade reading.
Thank you to our students, staff and families for making this possible! For more on the results and what’s next, please see the letter from Dr. Larson.
