The truth about Champaign, Illinois' school system
In #Champaign #Illinois’, only 10% of black 3rd-grade students in the public schools are proficient in reading. Next door in #Urbana it’s even worse for 3rd-graders, where only 6% of blacks and just 4% of Hispanics read at grade level. In Champaign, these trends continue all the way through high school, where only 38% of all Champaign 11th-graders are proficient in English on the SAT. Despite those dismal results, 82% of all students graduate and 99% of districtwide teachers are rated “excellent or proficient.”
Similar results are seen statewide. In #Decatur just 2% of black and 16% of white 3rd-graders could read at grade level in 2019. In #Rockford, it was 7% for blacks. And in #Elgin, it was only 11% for Hispanics.
Champaign is part of Wirepoint’s statewide #report that indicts Illinois’ #educational system. Our assessment is harsh because student outcomes are beyond dismal and no one, it seems, takes any responsibility for them. Social promotion, hyper-inflated teacher evaluations and misleading “accountability” designations from ISBE all help to deflect blame.
The system is perpetuated by a complex weave of labor laws, hundreds of districts, generous salaries, constitutionally-protected pensions, powerful superintendents and even more powerful unions. It’s why the state’s $38 billion education system – propped up by the symbiotic relationship between unions and lawmakers – can only be described as an educational-industrial complex.
It’s no wonder 80% of Illinois parents now support #schoolchoice.
