ISAT prompts schools to rethink how to use tests
Illinois educators grapple with how to apply the new ISAT results replacing IGAP tests. Districts blend portfolios, classroom data, and targeted courses to support students while awaiting further ISAT refinement and the incoming Prairie State Achievement Exam.
Illinois ISAT participation shows mixed turnout across grades
Illinois schools faced two weeks to administer the ISAT with attendance shaping results. Fewer than 90 percent of most ninth and tenth graders completed both math and reading, while fifth and eighth graders fared slightly better. Thornwood High tested many special education students but fewer regular students, highlighting attendance as a key factor in test usefulness.
