Wirepoints on WMBD Peoria

Wirepoints traveled to Peoria Wednesday to discuss with two local groups the failure of the Peoria public school systems to educate students in the tri-county area.

One of Wirepoints’ main goals is to get those who run the schools, the districts and the state board of education, to acknowledge the poor results. The problems in Illinois education will never be improved until the poor outcomes are openly acknowledged by those who run the system.

In Peoria School District 150, just 5 of every 100 black students can read at grade level. In math, it’s just 2 in 100.

In one high school, proficiency rates on the SAT in math are at zero percent – for all races.
