Administrators report "unprecedented" academic growth; Sheridan named top Lake County elementary
Summary
Administrators previewed embargoed spring IAR/ECRA growth results, calling district growth 'unprecedented' and reported Chicago Magazine ranked Sheridan Elementary No. 1 and Everett No. 5 among Lake County elementary schools.
Renee previewed ECRA growth‑model results for the district's spring IAR assessments and described what she called "unprecedented growth" in combined math and ELA growth measures, noting a cohort metric of +0.68 that she described as two standard deviations above expected growth.
Administrators cautioned that these are growth (not proficiency) metrics and that the full, embargoed state reports will be released in the fall; they said raw scores have been uploaded to ECRA and the state. Superintendent Matt highlighted external recognition, saying Chicago Magazine ranked Sheridan Elementary No. 1 and Everett No. 5 in Lake County elementary rankings, and praised multi‑year district initiatives for the upward trend.
Administrators said a fuller assessment discussion will be included in the November report and indicated more detailed district achievement data will be made available to the board and public at that time.
