The Illinois State Board of Education has given Homewood District 153 a commendable ranking in the annual state report card.
The status is developed through the state’s annual Illinois Assessment of Readiness testing scores for student achievement and growth. The numbers show how Homewood students are doing compared to other schools across Illinois.
Kathy Schaeflein, director of curriculum, told board members Nov. 13 that Willow, Churchill and James Hart Schools each received the recommended designation.
