The State Board of Education has released 2009 results for the Illinois Standards Achievement (elementary) and Prairie State Achievement (high school) tests. You can check out the results and other features at both the Tribune and Sun-Times. The results are used to determine if a school meets standards to avoid sanctions under the No Child Left Behind act. According to WBEZ, 1,500 schools state-wide fell short of the 70 percent mark required by the law.
