Goreville High School has been named an "Exemplary" school as their summative evaluation by the Illinois State Board of Education, signifying that it ranks in the top 10% of all high schools in Illinois! The designation is part of the just-released 2022 Illinois Report Card, which the Illinois State Board of Education issues annually to provide a detailed look at each school’s progress on academics, student success, school culture and climate, and financial investments. Being deemed "Exemplary" is the highest award a school can achieve from the state of Illinois. Since 2018, the report card has included one of four summative designations for each school, Exemplary, Commendable, Targeted Support, or Comprehensive Support. The designations are based on overall performance on eight academic indicators: graduation rate, chronic absenteeism, 9th graders on track to graduate, math proficiency on the SAT, English language arts proficiency on the SAT, climate, participation rate on the Illinois Science Assessment, and English learner progress to proficiency. We are PROUD of our schools! #BlackcatPride
