After failing to meet No Child Left Behind Act standards for the second year, Naperville School District 203 officials required to offer parents the option to transfer their children.
Picking out pens and backpacks is one thing, but choosing between three different schools? Parents whose children attend Mill Street School may now have that option, according to Naperville School District 203 officials. The district is required to offer parents the option to transfer their children to an alternate school under the No Child Left Behind Act after Mill Street failed to meet the act’s standards for the second year in row, according to a district press release. Low-income students did not meet the 85 percent target in the area of reading in 2011. For 2012, the same category of scores in the low-income subgroup will also not make the target of 92.5 percent proficiency in reading, according to officials. Under the No Child Left …

Despite more than 90 percent of its students meeting or exceeding achievement standards, the district failed to make annual yearly progress in 2010, something that will become more elusive in the coming years.
Students in Naperville School District 203 continue to outperform their peers across the state in reading and math, according to school report cards released Friday. Even though the district had 91.1 percent of its students meeting or exceeding state standards in 2010, it received a failing grade from the Illinois State Board of Education because the district didn't meet annual yearly progress standards. The District 203 Board of Education was presented with the information during its board meeting on Monday night. The report cards compile data including expenditure per student, teacher ratio to students and tests scores for students in grades 3 to 8 and grade 11. No Child Left Behind, an act of Congress, requires that school districts …

Although nine of the 33 schools in the Indian Prairie School District did not reach AYP targets in 2010, test scores remain high.
Despite overall high achievement by students, the Indian Prairie School District 204 did not meet Adequate Yearly Progress benchmarks set by the state for 2010. But district officials looked at the silver lining Monday. "There's really no bad news in terms of our reports," said Patrick Nolten, the district's director of assessment, research and evaluation. "We've had consistent, high, exemplary reports in our district. … We're strong performers." AYP is part of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, which requires that 100 percent of students meet progress standards by the 2013-2014 school year. Benchmarks in each state vary, but the act requires that all public school districts be tested annually. In Illinois, the percentage …
