Executive SummaryAre regular Illinois public schools with predominantly non-low-income student populations performing well? Many parents at these schools think so, and seemingly high scores on exams such as the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) appear to support their confidence. Yet, based on a variety of indi-cators, many of these schools may not be as good as parents think they are.

The Illinois Learning Standards in English language arts and math have received “D” grades from the Fordham Institute, which called them “among the worst in the country.” Because the ISAT is aligned with the state standards, it also has inherent weaknesses. Even though the threshold for achieving “proficiency” on the ISAT was raised in 2013, there is a wide disparity between the proficiency rates for non-low-income students on the ISAT and on the more difficult National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP), often referred to as the nation’s report card:

• On both the 2013 fourth-grade ISAT reading and math tests, 77 percent of non-low-income students scored at the proficient level, and 23 percent did not. In contrast, on the 2013 NAEP fourth-grade reading test, 52 percent of non-low-income Illinois test-takers scored at proficiency, while 48 percent did not. On the NAEP fourth-grade math test, 57 percent of non-low-income Illinois students scored at the proficient level, while 43 percent failed to do so.

• On the 2013 eighth-grade ISAT reading exam, 75 percent of non-low-income students scored at proficiency, while 25 percent did not. On the 2013 NAEP eighth-grade reading exam, 50 percent of non-low-income Illinois test-takers scored at proficiency, meaning that exact-ly half failed to do so.

• On the 2013 eighth-grade ISAT math exam, 73 percent of non-low-income students scored at the proficient level, while 27 percent did not. On the 2013 NAEP eighth-grade math exam, 52 per-cent of non-low-income Illinois test-takers scored at proficiency, while 48 percent failed to do so.

Non-low-income Illinois students also have lower proficiency rates on the NAEP compared to similar students in other states such as Massachusetts.

In Illinois, there are 1,156 regular public schools where 33 percent or fewer of their students are classi-fied as low income, i.e. schools with predominantly non-low-income student populations. Among these schools, 140, or 12 percent, have 50 percent or more of their students in at least one grade level failing to meet or exceed proficiency on the ISAT or on the Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE). Among this group are such schools as:

• Athens Junior High School in Menard County

• Yorkville High School in Kendall County

• Homewood-Flossmoor High School in Cook County

• Somonauk High School in DeKalb County

A technique called linear regression-line modeling was used to estimate whether a relationship exists between the percentage of students in a school who are classified as coming from low-income households and the percent of students proficient (at grade level) in the school for a particular grade and subject. This analysis for each grade in reading and math allows for the identification of schools that are perform-ing above or below average performance based on the performance of all other schools in the state.

Schools on the regression line itself are performing at the average given the performance of all other schools in the state and the income levels of students, based on low-income and non-low-income classifi-cations. Schools below the regression line are performing below average given the income status of their students, while schools above the regression line are performing above average given the income status of their students.

Among the 1,156 regular public schools with 33 percent or fewer of their students coming from low-in-come households, 817 have at least one grade where the subject-matter proficiency rate was below the regression line. In other words, more than 70 percent of these predominantly non-low-income schools had at least one grade where students performed below the average performance of schools with students of the same income status on a subject-matter test. The following is the breakdown of the number of underperforming regular public schools per grade level for reading and math:

Grade Number of Schools Underperforming in Reading

Number of Schools Underperforming in Math

Grade 3 281 269

Grade 4 273 243

Grade 5 277 245

Grade 6 154 175

Grade 7 140 179

Grade 8 140 124

ject-matter test. Among the 817 schools not performing up to the average performance of schools with the same percentage of low-income students:

• Edison Park Elementary School in Cook County

• Prairie View Middle School in Cook County

• Grayslake North High School in Lake County

• Waterloo High School in Monroe County

• Beecher High School in Will County

These results should cause non-low-income Illinois parents, many of whom are middle class, to re-think their views on the quality of their neighborhood public schools, and, consequently, to open their minds to other education options, choices, and policy changes that would allow their children to escape under-performing schools and attend better-performing alternatives. Among these alternatives are a variety of school-choice programs:

• Sweden’s universal school-choice program that allows all parents of school-age children, regard-less of income, to use vouchers to send their children to private schools. The program has been a success and has raised the performance of both private and public school students.

• Indiana and other jurisdictions make school-choice vouchers available to non-low-income parents and their children.

• Former Harvard law professor and current U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts), who has co-authored an influential book on the challenges facing the middle-class, recommend-ed, “A well-designed voucher program would fit the bill neatly.”

• Illinois has enacted a universal tax credit program that allows individuals to claim tax credits for educational expenses, such as private-school tuition. This program offers middle-class parents an immediate way to escape underperforming public schools and allows parents to send their chil-dren to private schools that better meet their needs.

• The Friedman Foundation says that Illinois’ individual tax credit could be one of the country’s most effective choice programs if it made some updates. On student eligibility, the program is accessible to all students statewide. Moreover, there are no unreasonable regulations placed on private schools. Those strong features are hurt, however, by the fact that participants have very little funding power with a maximum available credit of just $500. To help middle-class parents, Illinois could improve this program dramatically by raising the tax credit allowance.

Too many children in Illinois, including many from middle-class families, are going to underperforming schools. As the late Swedish education minister Per Unckel has stated: “Kids should never ever have to stay in a school if the school is lousy. The right of the kid is to get a good education. If the public sector cannot offer it, he or she should have the right to go somewhere else.”

Introduction and Background on“Not as Good as You Think” ResearchIn 2007, the Pacific Research Institute (PRI) published a landmark book entitled Not as Good as You Think: Why the Middle Class Needs School Choice. The book examined student performance on California math and English exams in the state’s public schools that had relatively few low-income students. The book found that hundreds of these public schools were underperforming based on the California Standards Test (CST). In 2009, PRI published a follow-up study entitled “Still Not as Good as You Think: Why the Middle Class Needs School Choice.” This current study examines schools with similar student popula-tions in Illinois to discover whether the same underperformance phenomenon is occurring.

In the 2007 PRI book, the authors examined the pool of schools in California where a third or fewer of the students at the school were eligible for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), which is the federal program that provides free or reduced-priced lunches to students. Participation in the NSLP program is often used as an indicator of low-income family background. Children from families with incomes at or below 130 percent of the poverty level are eligible for free meals, and those from families with incomes be-tween 130 percent and 185 percent of the poverty level are eligible for reduced-price meals. If only a third or fewer of the students at a school were eligible for the NSLP program, one could reasonably conclude that the school was attended predominantly by non-low-income or non- socioeconomically disadvantaged students.

Using the benchmark of one-third or fewer students eligible for the NSLP was actually a very conservative categorization. For example, a study by the Third Way research think tank attempted to examine the student achievement at middle-class public schools around the coun-try. The study used a broad definition of “middle class”: “Those with between 26 percent and 75 percent eligibility [for the NSLP] represent our target middle-class schools.”1 The study’s authors, however, ac-knowledged some problems with the wide net that they cast: “There are some characteristics in which the schools with 51-75 percent of their student population eligible for the NSLP look more like lower-income schools than middle-class schools.”2 Given such an admission, con-servatively defining middle-class or non-low-income schools seems prudent.

Within the pool of public schools with one-third or fewer students on the NSLP program, PRI’s 2007 book then examined the performance on the state-standards-aligned California Standards Test (CST) in mathematics and English. California had set grading benchmarks of advanced, proficient, basic, below basic, and far below basic. It was the state’s goal that all students score at least at the proficient level on the CST. The authors then reviewed the test results from the pool of predominantly non-low-income schools and determined how many schools had more than 50 percent of students performing below proficiency in at least one grade level on either the CST math or English exam. For this result to occur, even if every low-income student at a school performed below the proficient mark, a significant percentage of non-low-income students also had to perform below proficiency.

If only a third or fewer of the students at a school

were eligible for the NSLP program, one could reasonably conclude that the school was attended predominantly by

non-low-income or non-socioeconomically

disadvantaged students.

Based on these criteria, the 2007 book found almost 300 public schools in California with predominant-ly non-low-income student populations where more than half of the students in at least one grade level failed to reach proficiency in either math or English on the state exam.

In the 2009 update “Still Not as Good as You Think,” in addition to the list of public schools compiled using the one-third/two-thirds division and the 50-percent-or-more non-proficient grade-level bench-mark, a second list of schools was compiled using a 20-percent/80-percent division between low-income and non-low-income students and a 40-percent-or-more non-proficient grade-level benchmark on the state math and English exams.

This current study uses the 33/50 criteria and applies it to regular public schools in Illinois. It should be noted that Illinois uses a slightly expanded definition of what constitutes a low-income student, beyond simply being eligible for the National School Lunch Program:

The State collects demographic information on the student body, including the percent-age of students who live in low-income households. Students ages three to 17 meet the low-income criteria if they fulfill one or more of the following conditions:

• From a family that receives public aid (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Pro-gram, Targeted Assistance for Needy Families)

• Living in institutions for neglected or delinquent children• Being supported in foster homes with public funds• Eligible to receive free or reduced-price lunches (according to the United States

Department of Agriculture’s guidelines)3.

Because of the Illinois state exam’s lenient proficiency benchmark, other performance evaluation methods will also be used, in addition to the 33/50 criteria.

Illinois Testing StandardsThere are several ways to address the question of how well non-low-income students in Illinois are performing. To get a big picture of the achievement of Illinois non-low-income students, one of the first places to which researchers turn is to the state’s results on the National Assessment of Educational Prog-ress (NAEP).

NAEP: The Nation’s Report Card

Often referred to as the nation’s report card, the NAEP exams are used in virtually all states and test stu-dents periodically in the core subjects:

Students are tested in a variety of different subject areas and grade levels, and they are scored as either achieving advanced, proficiency, basic or below basic in a specific subject. The Commissioner of Education Statistics, under the U.S. Department of Education, is responsible for overseeing the NAEP. The National Assessment Governing Board, an independent, bipartisan board appointed by the Secretary of Education, is responsible for determining the framework and assessments given. The Board also defines basic, profi-cient, and advanced levels for each grade.

Achieving 100 percent proficiency on NAEP exams is a goal that all schools should be striving for. 4

In defining “proficiency,” the U.S. Department of Education states: “This level represents solid performance for each grade assessed,” and that students reaching the proficient level “have demonstrated compe-tency over challenging subject matter, including subject matter knowl-edge, application of such knowledge to real world situations, and ana-lytical skills appropriate to the subject matter.”5 In contrast, to achieve a “basic” level, a student need display only partial mastery of perquisite knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work at that grade level. Illinois is one of the states that uses the NAEP to test its students.

Paul Peterson of Harvard University and Fredrick Hess of the Ameri-can Enterprise Institute (AEI) have written that the difficulty level of NAEP’s test items and its definition of “proficiency” have been judged to be on par with the standards used by designers of international tests of student achievement. “Proficiency,” they conclude, “has acquired roughly the same meaning in Europe and Asia, and in the United States—as long as the NAEP standard is employed.”6

NAEP uses matrix sampling, a testing technique that assembles dif-ferent assessment documents covering different aspects of a subject. These different assessments are administered to different sample sets of students. In other words, on the NAEP reading exam not every stu-dent answers the same questions. Aggregate scores for all students are then calculated.7

On the 2013 NAEP eighth-grade reading exam, 50 percent of

non-low-income Illinois students failed to score at the proficient level .

Nearly half, 48 percent , failed to score at pro-

ficiency on the NAEP eighth-grade math exam.

Page 14: NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK  Why Middle-Class Parents in Illinois Should Be Concerned about Their Local Public Schools

Since NAEP uses matrix sampling, it is impossible to compare scores between students or between schools. This situation is unlike state tests, such as the Illinois Standards Achievement Test, which allows for such comparisons, since all students in a given grade level take the same test and answer the same questions. NAEP produces statewide data and allows for comparisons of performance between states and gives a picture of statewide student performance.

The most recent NAEP results show that Illinois has not only failed to come close to the 100-percent proficiency goal for all students, the state has also failed to come close to this proficiency goal for non-low-income students, who are often assumed to be higher achieving.

NAEP scores can be broken down into various group categories, including by participation and non-partici-pation in the NSLP. On the 2013 NAEP fourth-grade reading exam, 48 percent of Illinois students not eligible for the NSLP failed to score at the proficient level. More than four out of 10 non-low-income Illinois students, 43 percent, failed to score at the proficient level on the NAEP fourth-grade math exam. The results were worse for non-low-income Illinois eighth graders.

On the 2013 NAEP eighth-grade reading exam, 50 percent of non-low-income Illinois students failed to score at the proficient level. Nearly half, 48 percent, failed to score at proficiency on the NAEP eighth-grade math exam.

NAEP identifies “advanced” as signifying “superior performance.”8 On both the 2013 fourth-grade NAEP reading and math exams, 85 percent of Illinois non-NSLP-eligible test takers failed to reach the advanced level. On the eighth-grade NAEP reading exam, 94 percent of non-low-income test-takers failed to achieve the advanced level. On the eighth-grade math exam, 85 percent of non-low-income test takers failed to make the advanced level.

Not only has the achievement level of non-low-income students in Illinois failed to approach the 100-percent proficiency goal, it also compares unfavorably with the performance of similar students in other states. For example, Massachusetts is ranked among the leaders in NAEP performance, and its non-low-income students significantly outperform their peers in Illinois.

On the 2013 NAEP fourth-grade math exam, 26 percent of non-low-income students in Massachu-setts failed to reach proficiency versus 43 percent in Illinois. On the fourth-grade reading exam, 38 percent of Massachusetts non-low-income test-takers failed to hit proficiency, while 48 percent of non-low-income Illinois test-takers failed to do so. There were similar disparities on the eighth-grade NAEP exams.

On the eighth-grade NAEP math exam, 31 percent of non-low-income students in Massachusetts failed to hit the proficiency mark, while 48 percent of non-low-income Illinois eighth-graders failed to achieve proficiency. On the eighth-grade reading exam, 39 percent of non-low-income Massachusetts students failed to score at the proficient level, while 50 percent of non-low-income Illinois students failed to achieve proficiency.

The Thomas B. Fordham Institute has been grading state subject- matter standards for years…. Illinois received a “D” for its

English standards and a “D” for its math standards.

Thus, not only are large proportions of non-NSLP-eligible Illinois students failing to achieve proficiency on NAEP exams, they are failing to achieve proficiency at the rate of their peers in higher-performing states like Massachusetts. The poor performance of non-NSLP-eligible Illinois students, however, is not mirrored in their performance on the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT), which should raise questions about the real level of knowledge and skills of non-low-income students in Illinois.

Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT)

Any discussion of state testing must first start with an examination of the rigor of a state’s subject-matter standards. States with challenging and rigorous subject-matter standards will usually have rigorous tests since state tests are aligned with state standards. Thus, states such as California and Massachusetts have rigorous standards, plus tests that are also considered rigorous. In contrast, Illinois’s subject-matter stan-dards, the Illinois Learning Standards, have received low marks for their rigor.

The Thomas B. Fordham Institute has been grading state subject-matter standards for years. In its 2010 report on state standards, Fordham gives California an “A” for its English-language-arts standards and an “A” for its math standards. Massachusetts received an “A-” for its English standards and a “B+” for its math standards. At the other end of the grading spectrum, Illinois received a “D” for its English stan-dards and a “D” for its math standards.

Fordham minced no words when describing the deficiencies of the Illinois Learning Standards. Regard-ing the Illinois Learning Standards for English-language-arts, the report said, “the standards are so vague as to be almost entirely useless.” For example, the state English standards have only a single nebulous line that addresses phonics and phonemic awareness for the early elementary grades.9 The report’s authors found that “because a majority of [the English-language-arts] standards are either vague or focus on strategies more than on content, between 50 and 65 percent of critical content is absent from Illinois standards.”10 “Illi-nois’s ELA standards,” the report concluded, “are among the worst in the country.”11

The Illinois Learning Standards for Mathematics are replete with weaknesses. For example, “there is little support for the development of algorithms,” “there are very few stan-dards about quadratics,” and other essential content “is also covered inadequately or completely missing.” Like the state English standards, “Illinois’s mathematics standards are among the worst in the country.”12

If Illinois’s English and math standards are so weak, then the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT), which is aligned to the state standards, also suffers from inherent weaknesses.

The ISAT has performance levels that are explicitly related to the state’s standards. These levels include “Meets Standards,” which the Illinois State Board of Education defines as student work that “demon-strates proficient knowledge and skills in the subject.”13 Yet, to meet standards that have been judged to be among the worst in the country is not a high benchmark for student performance.

Fordham minced no words when describing the deficiencies of the Illinois Learning Standards.

Regarding the Illinois Learning Standards for English-language-arts,

the report said, “the standards are so vague as to be almost entirely useless.”

Page 16: NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK  Why Middle-Class Parents in Illinois Should Be Concerned about Their Local Public Schools

10

It is not surprising, then, that large proportions of non-low-income students in Illinois score at the “meets or exceeds standards” level and are labeled “proficient.” In 2013, 76 percent of non-low-income students in grades three to eight scored at the proficient level on the ISAT reading exam, meaning that 24 percent failed to score at proficiency. On the ISAT math exam, 75 percent of non-low-income students in grades three to eight hit or exceeded the proficiency mark, meaning that 25 percent failed to make proficiency. While the proportions achieving proficiency on the ISAT are large, the proportions were even larger prior to 2013.

In early 2013, Illinois raised the “cut scores,” which are the thresholds between performance levels, such as between “below standards” and “meets standards,” in order to better align the ISAT with the new incoming tests based on the Common Core national standards, which Illinois has adopted. The Illinois State Board of Education has also said that the cut scores had to be raised in order to better align ISAT scores with the Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE), which is administered in the eleventh grade and which is aligned with the ACT college-readiness test:

The ISAT, given to third through eighth grade students each spring, is part of the state and federal accountability system. The higher cut scores will give administrators, teachers and parents a better picture of students’ progress toward college and career readiness.

The State Board, working with an expert advisory committee, looked at the necessary college and career readiness scores of 11th-graders and then set scores for each elementary grade level accordingly. In short, it worked back from the high school readiness scores and set grade-level appropriate scores to ensure that elementary students will be on track for college and career readiness. This means that students will be measured against college and career readiness benchmarks earlier—starting in third grade—to ensure they’re on track to succeed in high school and beyond rather than waiting for the 11th grade Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE) to yield this information.14

According to the State Board, the lack of alignment between the ISAT and the PSAE created a wide dispari-ty in student proficiency scores:

Prior to raising the cut scores, the ISAT did not align to the new standards of the Common Core. As a result, a disconnect emerged between students’ ISAT scores and their performance on the PSAE, which is given to all 11th graders. Last year, 82 percent of students met or exceeded standards on the ISAT statewide, while only 51 percent met or exceeded standards on the PSAE. The PSAE includes the ACT [test], which is the gold standard for college and career readiness. The higher cut scores now align the ISAT with the greater expectations of the PSAE and provide a more accurate indication of whether a student is on track for post-secondary success.15

Thus, according to the Illinois State Board of Education’s Illinois Report Card website, “This means that since meeting or exceeding standards on the ISAT is harder [in 2013], the percentage of students who score as meeting or exceeding standards has decreased.”16 The State Board fact sheet noted:

An earlier [Illinois State Board of Education] analysis of the new levels against past scores prepared districts for the decline in scores. According to the 2012 ISAT results, 79 percent of all third through eighth grade students scored proficient in reading and 86 percent of students scored proficient in mathematics. When using the new cut scores to analyze the ISAT data collected in spring 2012, the percentage of students who would have met or exceeded stan-dards dropped to 60 percent for both reading and mathematics.17

Page 17: NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK  Why Middle-Class Parents in Illinois Should Be Concerned about Their Local Public Schools

11

The proficiency rates for non-low-income students under the previous generous cut scores were astro-nomical. Ninety percent of non-low-income students in grades three to eight scored at the proficient level on the 2012 ISAT reading exam, meaning that only 10 percent—one in 10—failed to do so. The proficiency rate was even higher in math. On the 2012 ISAT math exam, 94 percent of non-low-income students in grades three to eight scored at the proficient level, meaning that only a microscopic 6 percent did not.

Despite raising the cut scores for the 2013 ISAT, the somewhat lower proficiency rates for non-low- income students are still high and continue to indicate weak standards and less-than-demanding tests. One way to determine the lesser expectations of the ISAT is to compare the proportion of Illinois students scoring at the proficient level on the ISAT to the proportion of Illinois students scoring at profi-ciency on the NAEP exams. Harvard’s Paul Peterson and AEI’s Fredrick Hess have said:

By comparing the percentage of students deemed proficient on [the state tests and on the NAEP tests], it is possible to determine whether states are setting expectations higher, lower, or equal to the NAEP standard. If the percentages are identical (or roughly so), then state proficiency standards can be fairly labeled as “world class.” If state assessments identify many more students as proficient than the NAEP, then state proficiency figures should be regarded as inflated. In short, comparing state assessment results to NAEP scores can help reveal whether states are giving parents and voters the real scoop about where the state’s children stack up when measured against world-class benchmarks.18

On both the 2013 fourth-grade ISAT reading and math tests, 77 percent of non-low-income students scored at the proficient level, and 23 percent did not. In contrast, on the 2013 NAEP fourth-grade reading test, 52 percent of non-low-income Illinois test-takers scored at proficiency, while 48 percent did not. On the NAEP fourth-grade math test, 57 percent of non-low-income Illinois students scored at the proficient level, while 43 percent failed to do so.

On the 2013 eighth-grade ISAT reading exam, 75 percent of non-low-income students scored at proficiency, while 25 percent did not. On the 2013 NAEP eighth-grade reading exam, 50 percent of non-low-income Illinois test-takers scored at proficiency, meaning that exactly half failed to do so.

On the 2013 eighth-grade ISAT math exam, 73 percent of non-low-income students scored at the proficient level, while 27 percent did not. On the 2013 NAEP eighth-grade math exam, 52 percent of non-low-income Illinois test-tak-ers scored at proficiency, while 48 percent failed to do so.

These wide differences in non-low-income student profi-ciency rates between the ISAT and the NAEP, ranging from 20 to 25 percent, indicate that Illinois’s proficiency rates, under Peterson and Hess’s methodology, should be regarded as inflated even under the new 2013 cut scores. Recall, too, that prior to 2013, when Illinois raised the cut scores for proficiency on the ISAT, the disparity between the ISAT and NAEP proficiency rates for non-low- income students would have been even greater.

Many middle-class parents in Illinois who think their children

are achieving at high levels based on ISAT scores, and who, as a con-sequence, think their children’s local public schools are high performing, are being fooled by the low quality of Illinois’s standards and the low

difficulty of the state ’s tests.

While the Illinois State Board of Education says that raising the cut scores for the ISAT will result in a decrease in the percentage of students meeting or exceeding standards, the Board also makes an interest-ing statement: “This does not reflect a decrease in the quality of schools, teachers, or student work—it reflects higher standards.”19 This statement is a backdoor admission that the inflated test scores prior to raising the cut scores masked quality problems at schools. Rather than showing a “decrease in the quality of schools, teachers, or student work,” the new cut scores exposed quality shortcomings that were always there, but which were hidden from parents and the larger public. Further, as the NAEP-ISAT compari-sons indicate, even with the new ISAT cut scores, parents are not likely getting the full and true picture of their children’s achievement.

Thus, many middle-class parents in Illinois who think their children are achieving at high levels based on ISAT scores, and who, as a consequence, think their children’s local public schools are high performing, are being fooled by the low quality of Illinois’s standards and the low difficulty of the state’s tests. It is fair to say, then, that many Illinois public schools with large proportions of non-low-income students are not as good as many parents think they are.

Illinois High School Exams

Illinois does not administer a standardized test for grades nine through 10 and for grade 12. In the eleventh grade, the state uses the Prairie State Achievement Exam (PSAE). The exam measures student achievement relative to the Illinois Learning Standards. The PSAE is actually a set of different tests:

The PSAE is a two-day examination. On the first day students take the ACT college readiness assessment. On the second day students take the ACT WorkKeys assessments in Applied Mathematics and Reading for Information in addition to a science assessment developed by the Illinois State Board of Education with the assistance of Illinois teachers (PSAE Day 2). All eligible grade 11 students, as defined by the [Illinois State Board of Education] Rule adopted in January 2011, took the PSAE in April/May 2013.20

The ACT tests reading, math, English and science. Since the ACT WorkKeys assessment also tests reading and math, those two subjects are actually tested twice in the two-day exam. According to a 2005 University of Chicago report, which is recommended by the Illinois State Board of Education as the only informational resource on the PSAE, in order to come up with a single PSAE score for reading and math, the ACT and WorkKeys scores are combined, and the PSAE scores are then associated with one of four performance levels: academic warning, below standards, meets standards, and exceeds standards.21 The report says, “The PSAE combines two tests in a subject in order to increase the breadth of informa-tion covered in that area and ensure that progress on state learning standards is measured accurately.”22

“Students and schools,” notes the University of Chicago report, “receive score reports in the fall following administration of the PSAE.” Students receive “individual reports,” while schools receive “a performance profile and school roster.”23

While Illinois changed the ISAT cut scores in 2013, no cut-score changes were instituted for the PSAE. Increasing the cut scores on the ISAT was supposed to improve alignment between the ISAT and the PSAE’s college readiness focus. A 2008 University of Chicago study, which examined the relationship between Illinois’s low K-8 standards and the ACT, found:

Low ACT scores reflect poor alignment of standards from K–8 to high school and from high school to college.

Page 19: NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK  Why Middle-Class Parents in Illinois Should Be Concerned about Their Local Public Schools

13

On average, [Chicago Public School] students who take the ACT enter high school meeting state standards and scoring at or above national averages. However, the current standards for high school readiness are not sufficient to be on the path to college. Getting all students college-ready is a goal that has never been met nationally, and performance at the ninth-grade national or state averages is not sufficient. Students have little chance of reaching college-ready benchmarks unless they enter high school exceeding state standards. ACT scores among CPS graduates will continue to fall below college bench-mark scores as long as K–8 instruction is aimed at meeting standards that are set too low. Furthermore, not all students are beginning high school meeting state and national expectations, and these students have virtually no chance of making the college readiness benchmarks by the end of the eleventh grade unless they make extraordinary learning gains in high school.24

In other words, the low-quality Illinois K-8 standards and the aligned test, the ISAT, gave students and parents a false impression about the real level of student knowledge and skills, which, in too many cases, was not up to a level that would prepare high-schoolers for college-level work.

While the new higher cut scores improved the match be-tween ISAT and PSAE proficiency rates, ISAT rates were still higher than those on the PSAE. Recall that in 2013, 76 percent of non-low-income students in grades three to eight met or exceeded the proficient level on the ISAT reading exam, meaning that 24 percent failed to score at proficiency. On the ISAT math exam, 75 percent of non-low-income students in grades three to eight hit or exceeded the profi-ciency mark, meaning that 25 percent failed to make profi-ciency.

In contrast, 69 percent of non-low-income eleventh grad-ers met or exceeded the proficient level on the 2013 PSAE reading exam, meaning that 31 percent failed to score at proficiency. On the PSAE math exam, 67 percent of non-low-income eleventh graders met or exceeded proficiency, meaning that 33 percent failed to achieve proficiency. The fact that more than three out of 10 non-low-income students failed to achieve proficiency on a college-readiness-focused exam is troubling.

The low-quality Illinois K-8 standards and the aligned test , the ISAT, gave students and

parents a false impression about the real level of student knowledge

and skills, which, in too many cases, was not up to a level that

would prepare high-schoolers for college-level work.

Analysis of Individual Illinois Public SchoolsThe 33/50 Schools

As was mentioned previously, NAEP scores are useful in giving a big-picture statewide double check on student achievement, but they cannot be used to evaluate individual school performance. Given that limitation, there are other ways to analyze the performance of individual Illinois public schools.

First, one can simply employ the methodology used in the 2007 PRI Not as Good as You Think book, which focused on public schools with 33 percent or fewer of students on the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and 50 percent or more of students in at least one grade level that failed to achieve proficiency on the state tests. Since California’s standards were very rigorous, the state tests were also challenging and resulted in many schools with predominantly non-low-income students meeting that threshold. In view of the inflated proficiency rates on the ISAT, even with the new cut scores, fewer schools meet that threshold in Illinois than in California, but there are still a significant number.

In Illinois, there are 1,156 regular public schools with 33 percent or fewer of their students classified as low income. Among these schools, 140, or 12 percent, have 50 percent or more of their students in at least one grade level failing to meet or exceed proficiency. This number is surprisingly large consid-ering that, overall, around three in four non-low-income students score at or above proficiency on the

ISAT and about two in three non-low-income students meet or exceed proficiency on the PSAE. It is worth noting the characteristics of some of these 33/50 schools and the commu-nities in which they are located.

Take, for example, Gary D. Wright Elementary School in the village of Hampshire in Kane County. Hamp-shire, as the local chamber of com-merce says, is part of the “rapidly developing area of Northwestern Kane County,” and is located about 50 miles outside of Chicago.25 In 2012, there were 5,624 people living in Hamp-shire, a 123-percent increase from the number in 2000. The village’s popula-tion is classified as 96 percent urban.

The median household income in 2011 was $71,102, significantly higher than the statewide median household income of $53,234. The median house/condominium value in 2011 was $210,944, which was higher than the statewide value of $178,500.26 For descriptive purposes, the median house/condo information used in the text of this study is based on the median house/condo price for the village, town or city in which the school is located. In the appendix of this study, the median house/condo information in the spreadsheet for all predominantly non-low-income schools is based on the median house/condo price for the zip code in which the school is located.

In July 2013, unemployment in Hampshire was 9 percent, which was just lower than the Illinois rate of 9.5 percent.

Politically, Kane County leans Republican. Barack Obama barely edged out Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential vote in the county. The county’s state legislators are Republican.

The Hampshire Community Guide, published by the Hampshire Area Chamber of Commerce, says that the mission of the local school district, Community Unit District 300, is to “help students reach their potential as self-directed learners and responsible citizens.” The district’s Foundation of Core Beliefs is based on “the belief that all children can learn.” According to the district:

In collaboration with the entire Hampshire school community, our mission is to pro-vide, through an effective and innovative staff, positive experiences for every student in a safe, diverse and supportive environment. The effect of these experiences will optimize achievement, will promote life-long learning, and will allow our students to become pro-ductive, literate, and contributing members of society.27

Gary D. Wright, which has 500 students, is 72 percent white. Twenty-one percent of students come from low-income households.

Last year, one Gary D. Wright parent wrote: “We love GDW! The teachers are fantastic . . . My chil-dren have excelled here, and we couldn’t be happier with what the school has to offer!”28 Many students, unfortunately, have failed to excel at the school.

Among fourth graders at Gary D. Wright, more than 49 percent failed to meet or exceed the proficient level on the 2013 ISAT reading exam, while nearly 51 percent failed to meet or exceed the proficient level on the ISAT math exam. Also, more than 56 percent of fifth graders failed to meet or exceed proficiency on the ISAT math exam.

Athens Junior High School is located in the town of Athens in Menard County, just outside the state capital of Spring-field. There were 1,983 people living in Athens in 2012, a 15-percent increase over the population in 2000. The area is considered rural.29

In 2011, the median household income in Athens was $55,597, which was higher than the statewide median income of $53,234. The median house/condomini-um value was $91,633, which was, un-surprising for a rural area, lower than the statewide value of $178,500.30

In July 2013, unemployment in Athens was 6.7 percent. In contrast, the Illinois unemployment rate was 9.5 percent.

Menard County is heavily Republican. In the 2012 election, Mitt Romney received 64 percent of the county vote, while Barack Obama received 34 percent.

Athens Junior High School is just under 95 percent white. A little more than 23 percent of students are from low-income households, meaning that more than three out of four students are non-low-income.

The school district, Athens CUSD 213, says on its website, “We strive to provide excellence in education for all our students, pre-K through grade 12.”31 Getting students up to an excellent level of achievement will take more effort. At Athens Junior High School, among seventh graders, 53 percent failed to meet or exceed the proficient level on the 2013 ISAT reading exam and nearly 52 percent failed to achieve that level on the ISAT math exam. It should also be noted that among eighth graders nearly 48 percent failed to meet or exceed proficiency on the ISAT reading exam and more than 45 percent failed to achieve that level on the math exam.

Yorkville High School is located in Yorkville in Kendall County, the fastest growing county in Illinois and in America. Yorkville, which is about 50 miles west of Chicago, is the county seat of Kendall County. As of 2012, the city had a population of 17,495, which was a whopping 183-percent increase over the popu-lation in 2000. The population is categorized as virtually all urban.

Yorkville’s median household income in 2011 was $80,917, which was significantly higher than the Illi-nois statewide median of $53,234. The median house/condominium value in 2011 was $214,491, which exceeded the Illinois median value of $178,500. While unemployment in Illinois in July 2013 was 9.5 percent, Yorkville’s rate was lower at 8.8 percent.32

Yorkville has a long history of support-ing Republicans. Denny Hastert, former speaker of the U.S. House of Representa-tives, was a long-time teacher at Yorkville High School. With the exception of the 2008 election, where county voters narrow-ly gave the nod to home-state presidential candidate Barack Obama, Kendall County has been a reliable Republican area. In 2012, Mitt Romney bested President Obama in the county by 51 percent to 47 percent.

At Yorkville High School in 2013, less than 11 percent of students are classified as coming from low-income households. More than 75 percent of the students are white, with Hispanics representing less than 13 percent of the student body and African Americans at 5 percent.

On its website, the school district, Yorkville Community Unit School District 115, says it is “cultivating learners who enrich society.” Many of those learners, however, may need a boost in their achievement in the core subjects.

On the 2013 PSAE eleventh-grade math exam, 52 percent of Yorkville High test-takers failed to meet or exceed proficiency. On the PSAE reading exam, 44 percent of the school’s eleventh graders failed to meet or exceed the proficient level. These are troubling numbers given that less than 11 percent of the school’s students are from low-income backgrounds.

For many Illinoisans, it would be surprising to see a school located in Flossmoor make the “not as good as you think” list. After all, the suburban village in Cook County has long been home to the affluent and elite. It is one of Chicago’s “status” suburbs, and has count-ed among its residents an array of celebrities ranging from presidential advisors to Nobel Prize winners to famed film directors and playwrights.

As of 2012, Flossmoor had a population of 9,512, which was a slight increase over the to-tal in 2000. The village had a median house-hold income of $102,452 in 2011, which was nearly double the statewide median of $53,234. The median house/condominium value in 2011 was $252,914, which was sig-nificantly higher than the statewide median value of $178,500.33

The residents of Flossmoor are highly educated. Two-thirds have a bachelor’s degree or higher and 36 percent have a graduate or professional degree. Despite the education background of residents, and their general high-income level, Flossmoor had a 10.2 percent unemployment rate in July 2013, which was higher than the Illinois rate of 9.5 percent.34

At Homewood-Flossmoor High School, just under 24 percent of students are from low-income house-holds. Sixty-three percent of students are African American, and 25 percent are white. The school draws its students from a number of other communities besides Flossmoor, including Homewood, Chicago Heights, Glenwood, Hazel Crest and Olympia Fields.

The school district, Homewood-Flossmoor CUSD 233, says on its website that the diversity and quality education at Homewood-Flossmoor High are key reasons why parents move to the district. The district’s vision statement says: “Let here prevail the greatest expectations in academics, civil responsibility, and personal growth within a diverse community.”

“This is one of the top schools in the state,” says one Homewood-Flossmoor parent.35 One of the dis-trict’s first goals is to maximize each student’s performance on tests.36 Yet, student performance on the PSAE is far from being maximized.

In 2013, nearly 52 percent of eleventh graders at Homewood-Flossmoor High failed to meet or exceed the proficient level on the PSAE math exam. Also of note, on the PSAE reading exam, more than 46 percent of eleventh graders failed to meet or exceed the proficient level.

In DeKalb County, a little more than 50 miles west of Chicago, sits the village of Somonauk, which is home to Somonauk High School. In 2012, the village had 1,876 residents, a 45-percent increase since 2000.37 Almost all residents are categorized as urban dwellers. Most of the village is classified as part of the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin statistical area.

The village had a 2011 median household income of $56,815, which was higher than the statewide median of $53,234. The median Somonauk home/condominium value in 2011 was $160,253, while

the statewide value was $178,500. Unem-ployment in the village in July 2013 was 8.7 percent, lower than the statewide rate of 9.5 percent.38

Over the last four presidential election cycles, DeKalb County has swung between Republicans and Democrats. In 2000 and 2004, county voters favored Republican George W. Bush, while in 2008 and 2012 voters opted for Democrat Barack Obama.39 Current state legislators representing DeKalb are Republicans.40

Ninety-one percent of students at So-monauk High School are white and 5 percent are Hispanic. Less than two out of 10 of the school’s students, 17 percent, are from low-income households. Despite the sparse number of low-income students, the

school’s performance numbers are anemic.

On the 2013 PSAE math exam, nearly 57 percent of Somonauk High’s eleventh graders failed to meet or exceed proficiency. On the PSAE reading exam, 45 percent of eleventh-grade test-takers failed to meet or exceed the proficient level.

While it is significant that underperformance problems exist in 12 percent of Illinois public schools with 33 percent or less of their students classified as coming from low-income households, there is another way to look at these predominantly non-low-income schools. Schools Below the Poverty/Performance Line

The limitation of Illinois’s proficiency bar is that it has been set relatively low. Simply using a bench-mark such as 50 percent or more students who are non-proficient on a grade-level test will not give the full picture of school underperformance. For this reason, it is worth turning to another method of analysis that shows the relationship between school performance and student income status.

If one plots regular public schools in Illinois on graphs with the percent of students proficient on a grade-level subject-specific test on the y-axis and the percent of students who are socioeconom-ically disadvantaged/low income on the x-axis, then one will get a scatterplot with each individ-ual dot representing a school with a certain percent of students performing at proficiency and a certain percent of students who are low income. Plotting schools on such a graph is useful because the regres-sion line that can be drawn and fitted on the graph will then tell us about which schools are performing below average.

In comparing public schools for the purpose of this analysis, a simple linear regression modeling was used to show the relationship between the per-centage of students in a school who are classified as coming from low-income households and the percent of students proficient (at grade level) in the school for a particular grade and subject. This analysis for each grade in reading and math allows for the identification of schools that are performing above or below average performance based on the performance of all the other schools in the state. In other words, the regression line is the relationship between school performance and student income level, based on low-income and non-low-income classifications.

Schools on the regression line itself are performing at the average given the performance of all other schools in the state and the income status of students. Schools below the regression line are performing below the average performance of schools with students of the same income sta-tus, while schools above the regression line are performing above the average relative to schools with students of the same income status.

For the purpose of this paper, the schools of interest occupy the area below the regression line from 0 to 33 percent on the x-axis (see Appendix A). These are schools that have predominantly non-low-income students, but which are performing below average based on the performance of all other schools in Illinois. The farther a school falls below the regression line, the farther its performance below the average.

A scatterplot and regression line is done for each grade level and for each subject-matter test. Thus, for example, there is a scatterplot of schools and a regression line based on the fourth-grade ISAT reading exam results. There is also a separate scatterplot and regression line for the fourth-grade ISAT math exam, and so forth for every grade level and every subject-matter test.

The limitation of Illinois’s proficiency bar is that it has been set relatively low. Simply using

a benchmark such as 50 percent or more students who are non- proficient on a grade-level test will not give the full picture of

school underperformance.

Page 26: NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK  Why Middle-Class Parents in Illinois Should Be Concerned about Their Local Public Schools

20

Comparing where a school is plotted on the scatterplot graph and where it should be if it were on the regression line gives one an idea of the under- or over-performance of the schools in relation to the average based on the regression line. Again, the regression line represents the current Illinois average performance given the income status of the students. The amount of under- or over-performance can be expressed in percentage points. So, for example, on the ISAT fourth-grade reading exam, Greenfield Elementary School in Adams County is 15.1 percentage points below the average performance, based on the regression line, for a school with just under 25 percent of its students categorized as low income. The under- or over-performance for each predominantly non-low-income Illinois public school can be viewed by looking at the grade-level ELA LR Gap (English-language-arts linear regression) or Math LR (linear regression) Gap columns listed in Appendix B. Negative numbers indicate percentage points below the regression line (under-performance), and positive numbers indicate percentage points above the regression line (over-performance).

Among the 1,156 regular public schools with 33 percent or fewer of students coming from low-income households, 817 have at least one grade where the subject-matter proficiency rate was below the regres-sion line. In other words, more than 70 percent of these predominantly non-low-income schools had at least one grade where students performed below the proficiency average on a subject-matter test. The following is the breakdown of the number of underperforming regular public schools per grade level for reading and math:

Of course, there is some overlap with some schools listed more than once since they may have multiple grades and/or subjects below the regression line particular to the grade-level subject-matter test.

Edison Park Elementary School in Chicago is just the type of school that would not show up under the previous 33/50 analysis, but which, nevertheless, has performance issues. The school is 73 percent white, with 13.5 percent of students classified as low income. On none of the grade-level ISAT exams do 50 percent or more of Edison Park students fail to meet or exceed the proficient level. Parents, therefore, may think that there is nothing to worry about with regard to the quality of their children’s education. Howev-er, the school’s performance is not so cut and dried.

Page 27: NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK  Why Middle-Class Parents in Illinois Should Be Concerned about Their Local Public Schools

21

On the fourth-grade ISAT reading exam, about 63 percent of Edison Park students met or exceeded the proficient level, meaning that 37 percent failed to meet or exceed proficiency, which is a percent-age that is nearly three times the percentage of low-income students at the school. On the scatterplot graph for the ISAT fourth-grade reading exam, Edison Park Elementary was located 14.8 percentage points below the regression line, which is the average performance of schools with the same student- income-status demographic.

On the fourth-grade ISAT math exam, nearly 69 percent of Edison Park students met or exceeded the proficient level, meaning that about 31 percent failed to meet or exceed proficiency, which is a percentage that is 2 1/3 times the percentage of low-income students at the school. On the scatterplot graph for the ISAT fourth-grade math exam, Edison Park Elementary was locat-ed 8.3 percentage points below the regression line.

On the fifth-grade ISAT reading exam, less than 69 percent of Edi-son Park students met or exceeded the proficient level, which means that more than 31 percent failed to meet or exceed proficiency. Edison Park was located 9.5 percentage points below the regression line.

On the seventh-grade ISAT reading exam, less than 71 percent of Edison Park students met or ex-ceeded the proficient level, meaning that more than 29 percent, or nearly three in ten seventh grad-ers, failed to meet or exceed proficiency. Edison Park was located 4.4 percentage points below the regression line.

In all, Edison Park Elementary School fell below the regression line on four different ISAT grade-level subject exams. In fourth-grade reading, fourth-grade math, fifth-grade reading, and seventh-grade reading, the school underperformed.

Prairie View Middle School is in Tinley Park, which is located mainly in Cook County. Tinley Park is one of the fastest growing suburbs south of Chicago, with 57,144 residents as of 2012. In 2009, Business Week selected the village as the best place to raise a family in America. The 2011 medi-an household income in Tinley Park was $71,752, which was higher than the statewide median of $53,234. The median house/condominium value in the village was $218,072, versus the statewide median value of $178,500.41 Many notables have called Tinley Park home, including the famed Bettenhausen family of racecar drivers.

About 83 percent of Prairie View Middle School’s students are white and less than 3 percent of stu-dents are classified as low income. One parent says, “This is a well-organized school that makes the

transition for sixth graders very nice, and eighth graders into high school.”42 It is true that on none of the grade-level ISAT exams do 50 percent or more of Prairie View students fail to meet or exceed the proficient level. However, the school fell below the regression line on each of the six grade-level ISAT subject tests.

On the 2013 sixth-grade ISAT reading exam, just more than 68 percent of Prairie View students met or exceeded the proficient level, meaning that nearly 32 percent failed to meet or exceed proficiency, which is a percentage 10 times the percentage of low-income students at the school. On the scatterplot graph for the ISAT sixth-grade reading exam, Prairie View Middle School was located 11.9 percentage points below the regression line, which is the average performance of schools with the same student-

income-status demographics.

On the sixth-grade ISAT math exam, about 72 percent of Prairie View students met or exceed-ed the proficient level, meaning that 28 percent did not, which is a percentage that is more than nine times the percentage of low-income stu-dents at the school. Prairie View was located 8.7 percentage points below the regression line.

On the seventh-grade ISAT reading exam, nearly 74 percent of Prairie View students met or exceeded the proficient level, meaning that 26 percent failed to do so, which is a percent-age that is nearly eight times the percentage of low-income students at the school. The school was located 4.6 percent below the regression line.

On the seventh-grade ISAT math exam, nearly 79 percent of Prairie View students met or exceeded proficiency, while more than 21 percent did not, which is a percentage that is more than seven times the percentage of low-income students at the school. Prairie View was located just 0.2 percentage points below the regression line.

On the eighth-grade ISAT reading test, 66 percent of Prairie View students met or exceeded the profi-cient level, meaning that 34 percent failed to do so, which is a percentage that is 11 times the percent-age of low-income students at the school. The school was located 14.1 percentage points below the regression line.

On the eighth-grade ISAT math exam, nearly 73 percent of Prairie View students met or exceeded proficiency, meaning that 27 percent did not, which is a percentage that is nine times the percentage of low-income students at the school. The school was located 5.6 percentage points below the regression line.

Thus, Prairie View Middle School, which is located in what many consider to be a nearly perfect American suburb, is not only underperforming at all grade levels, but considerably so given the very sparse number of low-income students at the school.

Grayslake North High School is located in the village of Grayslake in Lake County. The village, locat-ed 40 miles north of Chicago, is home to College of Lake County and the Lake County Fairgrounds. The 2011 median household income in Grayslake was $88,623, which was considerably higher than the statewide median of $53,234. The 2011 median house/condominium value in the village was $227,052, compared to the statewide median value of $178,500. In 2012, Grayslake had a population of 21,201 residents.43

Grayslake North High is 70 percent white and nearly 19 percent Hispanic. Less than 11 percent of its students are classified as coming from low-income households.

In its strategic plan, the school district, Grayslake CHSD 127, states that its first goal for student achievement and instruction is to develop “rigorous curric-ulum to support the needs of all students and ensure that graduates are college and career ready.”44 Yet, many students at Grayslake North may not be college and career ready when they graduate, at least based on their PSAE scores.

On the 2013 PSAE reading exam, less than 67 percent of Grayslake North eleventh graders met or exceeded the proficient level, meaning that more than 33 percent did not, which is a percentage that is three times the percentage of low-income students at the school. The school was located 3.3 percentage points below the regression line.

On the PSAE math exam, 66 percent of Grayslake North eleventh graders met or exceeded proficiency, meaning that 34 percent failed to do so, which is more than three times the percentage of low-income students at the school. The school was located 0.2 percentage points below the regression line.

Waterloo High School is located in the city of Waterloo, the county seat of Monroe County in south-ern Illinois. The city is 20 miles outside of St. Louis, Missouri, and had a 2012 population of 9,947. Waterloo’s 2011 median household income was $59,103, which was higher than the statewide median of $53,234. The 2011 median house/condominium value was $171,756, which was lower than the statewide median value of $178,500.45

Ninety-six percent of the students at Waterloo High are white. Slightly more than 9 percent of the school’s students are from low-income households.

On its website, the Waterloo Community Unit School District 5 says that its educational programming “supports high-quality teaching and learning through meaningful, differentiated learning experienc-es.” The district says that it has “set the direction for future district achievement to include productive school community collaboration and expanded preparation for both higher education and meaningful contribution to our world.”46 The test scores at Waterloo High indicate that students may need more preparation if they are to be ready for higher education and the workplace.

On the 2013 PSAE reading exam, 67 percent of Waterloo High eleventh graders met or exceeded the proficient level, meaning that 33 percent did not, which is a percentage that is 3 2/3 times the percentage of low-income students at the school. The school was located 1.1 percentage points below the regression line.

On the PSAE math exam, 63 percent of Waterloo eleventh graders met or exceeded proficiency, meaning that 37 percent failed to do so, which is a percentage that is more than four times the percentage of low-in-come students at the school. The school was located 1.3 percentage points below the regression line.

Beecher High School is located in Beecher in Will County. The village, which had 4,434 residents in 2012, is about 35 miles outside of Chicago. In 2011, the median household income in Beecher was $75,655, which was considerably higher than the statewide median of $53,234. Also in 2011, the median house/condominium value in Beecher was $216,417, significantly higher than the statewide median value of $178,500.47

More than 85 percent of Beecher High’s students are white. Less than 16 percent are from low-income households.

On the 2013 PSAE reading exam, 61 percent of Beecher High eleventh graders met or exceeded the profi-cient level, meaning that 39 percent did not, which is a percentage that is more than double the percentage of low-income students at the school. The school was located 6.7 percentage points below the regression line.

On the PSAE math exam, less than 48 percent of Beecher eleventh graders met or exceeded proficien-cy, meaning that more than 52 percent failed to do so, which is a percentage that is more than triple the percentage of low-income students at the school. The school was located 15.7 percentage points below the regression line.

It is important to emphasize that comparing a school’s performance vis-à-vis the regression line has a limitation. The regression line is not an independently judged ideal benchmark of school and student performance. Rather, it is an expression of the performance average based on the performance of all regular public schools in the state.

If many schools do not perform very highly, then the regression line is not set very high. It is for this rea-son that 34 percent of Grayslake North High eleventh graders can fail to meet or exceed proficiency on the PSAE, a percentage that is three times the percentage of low-income students at the school, yet the school is located only 0.2 percent below the regression line. Grayslake North’s closeness to the regression line indicates that many high schools do not perform highly on the PSAE, which lowers the regression line.

Also recall Prairie View Middle School’s seventh-grade ISAT math exam results, where more than 21 per-cent of the school’s seventh graders failed to meet or exceed the proficient level, which is more than seven times the percentage of low-income students at the school. Prairie View was located just 0.2 percentage points below the regression line, which demonstrates that even if a school met average performance, as represented by the regression line, there would still be much room for improvement.

In addition, one must remember that the ISAT is a less-than-demanding exam. Even with the new cut scores, the scores on the ISAT are inflated when compared to results on the NAEP, which means that the regression line might seem relatively high. A school that meets average expectations by performing at the regression line is performing at the expectations determined by performance on the ISAT. If the ISAT were as difficult as the NAEP, the regression line would look much different.

Page 31: NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK  Why Middle-Class Parents in Illinois Should Be Concerned about Their Local Public Schools

25

Still, the regression line is useful in exposing school underperformance that would have been missed by using the 33/50 evaluation criteria alone. Schools like Prairie View Middle School and Grayslake North would have gone under the radar screen. What the regression-line analysis does not catch are schools somewhat above the regression line, but which one could still argue are having performance issues. In that sense, though, one can say that the regression-line analysis is a conservative tool, which likely un-der-includes rather than over-includes schools that have performance problems.

Higher-Performing Illinois Public Schools

While this paper has focused on regular public schools that are “not as good as you think,” it is import-ant to point out that there are schools with predominantly non-low-income students that are higher performing and which, in the interest of fairness and balance, should be highlighted.

Not far from Edison Park Elementary School, which was discussed earlier in this paper and which is located in Chicago, is Hynes Elementary School in the village of Morton, Grove. The Cook County village, named after former U.S. Vice President Levi Parsons Morton, has been home to a variety of celebrities, including Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin and two-time Olympic gold-medalist gym-nast Bart Conner. At Hynes Elementary, 51 percent of students are white (Edison Park had a 73-percent white student population), and more than 20 percent were from low-income households (13.5 percent of Edison Park’s students were low income).

On the 2013 fourth-grade ISAT reading exam, whereas about 63 percent of Edison Park students met or exceeded the proficient level, nearly 94 percent of Hynes fourth graders met or exceeded proficiency. The difference in proficiency rates between the two schools was about 31 percent.

On the fourth-grade ISAT math exam, nearly 69 percent of Edison Park students met or exceeded the proficient level, while upwards of 91 percent of Hynes fourth graders met or exceeded proficiency. The difference in proficiency between the two schools was about 22 percent.

Hynes achieved these higher test results despite having a larger percentage of low-income students than Edison Park.

Just 17 miles away from Prairie View Middle School, which was discussed earlier in this paper, is Hins-dale Middle School in well-to-do Hinsdale, which is located mostly in DuPage County.

Hinsdale Middle School is 83 percent white, which is the exact same percentage as Prairie View Middle School. Slightly more than 4 percent of Hinsdale’s students are classified as coming from low-income households, compared to the less than 3 percent of Prairie Views students who were low income. In other words, the schools are almost identical, based on these two demographic factors.

On the 2013 sixth-grade ISAT reading exam, whereas just more than 68 percent of Prairie View stu-dents met or exceeded the proficient level, nearly 92 percent of Hinsdale sixth graders met or exceeded proficiency. The difference in proficiency rates between the two schools was about 24 percent.

On the sixth-grade ISAT math exam, while about 72 percent of Prairie View students met or exceeded the proficient level, 88 percent of Hinsdale sixth graders met or exceeded proficiency. The difference in proficiency rates between the two schools was about 16 percent.

Page 32: NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK  Why Middle-Class Parents in Illinois Should Be Concerned about Their Local Public Schools

26

On the seventh-grade ISAT reading exam, while nearly 74 percent of Prairie View students met or ex-ceeded the proficient level, more than 89 percent of Hinsdale seventh graders met or exceeded proficiency. The difference in proficiency rates between the two schools was about 15 percent.

On the seventh-grade ISAT math exam, nearly 79 percent of Prairie View students met or exceeded pro-ficiency, versus nearly 91 percent of Hinsdale seventh graders. The difference in proficiency rates between the two schools was about 12 percent.

On the eighth-grade ISAT reading test, 66 percent of Prairie View students met or exceeded the proficient level, compared to 90 percent of Hinsdale eighth graders. The difference in proficiency rates between the two schools was about 24 percent.

On the eighth-grade ISAT math exam, while nearly 73 percent of Prairie View students met or exceeded proficiency, 87 percent of Hinsdale eighth graders met or exceeded the proficient level. The difference in proficiency rates between the two schools was about 14 percent.

Thus, two schools with virtually the same demographics, located in highly sought-after suburban towns, have significantly different grade-level proficiency rates on the ISAT subject exams.

Eighteen miles from Grayslake North High School, which was discussed earlier, is Glenbrook South High School in Glenview in Cook County. Actress Emily Bergl of Desperate Housewives fame was raised in Glenview and attended Glenbrook South High.

Sixty-eight percent of Glenbrook South students are white, compared to 70 percent for Grayslake North. At Glenbrook South, 20 percent of students are from low-income households, which is nearly double the 11 percent at Grayslake North.

On the 2013 PSAE reading exam, less than 67 percent of Grayslake North eleventh graders met or ex-ceeded the proficient level, while 82 percent of Glenbrook South eleventh graders met or exceeded profi-ciency. The difference in proficiency rates between the two schools was about 15 percent.

On the PSAE math exam, 66 percent of Grayslake North eleventh graders met or exceeded proficiency, while more than 83 percent of Glenbrook South eleventh graders met or exceeded proficiency. The differ-ence in proficiency rates between the two schools was about 17 percent.

Thus, even though Glenbrook South had roughly twice the percentage of low-income students compared to Grayslake North, the former’s proficiency rates were significantly higher than those of the latter.

While it is important to spotlight high-performing public schools, two things must be kept in mind. First, very high scores on the ISAT, even with the new cut scores, does not mean that students would have scored equally as well on more difficult exams such as NAEP or state exams in places like Massachusetts or California. Second, even if the high scores on the Illinois exams do indicate truly high-quality schools, the fact is that not every neighborhood in the state has the good fortune to have schools like these. For unlucky parents who live in places served by “not as good as you think” schools, there needs to be school and educational alternatives to which they can turn.

Conclusion and RecommendationsWhat this paper has shown is that many Illinois schools with predominantly non-low-income student populations have significant quality and performance problems. These quality and perfor-mance issues can be seen using a variety of measurements.

On the NAEP exams, large proportions of non-low-income Illinois students fail to perform at the proficient level. Also, Illinois badly trails high-performing states like Massachusetts in the propor-tion of non-low-income students performing at proficiency on the NAEP. Of the 1,156 regular public schools in Illinois that have 33 percent or fewer of their students desig-nated as low income, 140, or 12 percent, have at least one grade where 50 percent or more of stu-dents in that grade level failed to meet or exceed the proficient level on either the state reading or math test.

Further, using simple linear regression modeling, 817 schools, or 70 percent of the schools with 33 percent or fewer of their students categorized as low income, had at least one grade where students performed below average on an Illinois state subject-matter test.

These results should cause non-low-income Illinois parents, many of whom are middle class, to re-think their views on the quality of their neighborhood public schools, and, consequently, to open their minds to other education options, choices, and policy changes that would allow their children to escape underperforming schools and attend better-performing alternatives. It is no secret that many middle-class parents decide to locate to certain neighborhoods because they think that the local public schools are high performing and will benefit their children. Former Harvard Law professor and current U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren and her daughter Amelia War-ren Tyagi have written that the major reason middle-class families are willing to shell out so much of their incomes on housing is that “when a family buys a house, it buys much more than shelter from rain”; rather, it “buys a public-school system.” They note, “For most middle-class parents, ensuring that their children get a decent education means buying a home in a small subset of well-reputed school districts.”

Warren and Tyagi advise: “Any policy that loosens the ironclad relationship between location-loca-tion-location and school-school-school would eliminate the need for parents to pay an inflated price for a home just because it happens to lie with the boundaries of a desirable school district.”48 Such a policy would “relieve parents from the terrible choice of leaving their kids in lousy schools or bank-rupting themselves to escape those schools.”49

Toby Young, who has written a book on free schools, which are the British version of U.S. char-ter schools, has pointed out that many middle-class schools in Britain are underperforming. Yet, in many areas in Britain, like in Illinois, there is only one government-run public school for miles around “so the only choice is to plump for the local school or go private.”50 Given the cost of private education, Young says:

Page 34: NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK  Why Middle-Class Parents in Illinois Should Be Concerned about Their Local Public Schools

28

For middle-income or low-income families, that isn’t any choice at all. It’s the lack of any competition that enables these “sink” middle-class schools to “muddle through.” After all, the vast majority of parents in the surrounding areas will have no choice but to send their children to these schools, regardless of how poorly they perform.51

For middle-class parents, who have gone into debt to buy into “good” neighborhoods with “good” public schools, what are they to do when they find out that the schools are not as good as they thought

they were? The answer is to consider and support school choice programs that are not just targeted at small groups of low-income families, but that give parents of all or most income levels the ability to choose the public or private school that best meets the needs of their children.

For besieged middle-class parents, Warren and Tyagi recommended, “A well-designed voucher program would fit the bill neatly.”52 For middle-class parents, one of the most immediate and effective solutions would be the enactment of a Swedish-style universal school-choice program.

Sweden adopted a universal choice scholarship/grant program in the early 1990s, which made scholarships available to all parents regardless of income level. As a consequence, Sweden went from having virtually no private-school alternatives to a thriving competitive mar-ketplace with rapidly increasing private-school options for all parents and their children. This transformation

occurred in a relatively short time span, because a scholarship/grant was made available to all parents of school-age children in the country. Parents and their children can now use that scholarship/grant to escape poorly performing public schools and go to better performing schools, public or private. The competition also raised the performance of the public schools in Sweden.

The late Per Unckel, who served as Sweden’s education minister at the time the school-choice schol-arship/grant program was enacted, was asked about U.S. programs that directed school-choice scholar-ships at only a limited class of low-income students. He replied:

That is the problem. The secret of the Swedish voucher program’s success is that it is universal . . . . The idea of doing it universal is not to look at a voucher program as sup-port for the poor: this is a choice program. . . . This is the right of the parents to choose the school that their kids would like to have or the school that is most supportive of the needs of their kids. The universal character of the program is the key message we would like to send. Choice is for everyone, whatever income you have.

This is not support for poor kids, this is a program that should be open to everyone because everyone has the right to choose, regardless of income. Since we set up the program with a solidarity when it comes to financing, this is actually a right we are offering each and everyone in Sweden to have—the right to choose. In addition, the universal program also offers the possibility to increase competition between schools.

Senator Elizabeth Warren and her daughter Amelia Warren Tyagi

have written that the major reason middle-class families are willing

to shell out so much of their incomes on housing is that “when a family

buys a house, it buys much more than shelter from rain”; rather, it “buys a

public-school system.”

Page 35: NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK  Why Middle-Class Parents in Illinois Should Be Concerned about Their Local Public Schools

29

I can assure you that after 10 to 15 years, we can prove that competition works. It is not only a school-choice program, which opens up choice for kids, it’s also a choice program that opens up competition between schools for the benefit of quality. These are two rea-sons for the universal program.53

One Illinois mother recounts how her daughter Chyla received a scholarship from EdChoice Illinois, a local non-profit, so that she could attend the private Village Leadership Academy. She said:

As a mother, I value a quality education not only for her but my three other children. This scholarship is truly a blessing. Chyla can continue to receive the quality educa-tion she so deserves. Without this scholarship she would be at a neighborhood school surrounded by mediocrity, and that was not my desire for my child. I can’t express how grateful I am.54

As heartwarming as her story is, the reality is that scholarships from non-profits only impact a very small number of parents and their children. A Swedish-style universal scholarship program, however, would give all parents the opportunity to improve the educational circumstances of their children.

In the United States, Indiana has enacted its Choice Scholarship Program, which makes school-choice scholarships available to many non-low-income parents. It is estimated that 42 percent of Indiana fami-lies meet the eligibility requirements of the Indiana program.55 Illinois should consider programs such as Indiana’s and those in other states that make scholarships available to middle-class parents.

Perhaps even more than school-choice scholarships, tax credit programs that allow individuals to claim tax credits for educational expenses, such as private-school tuition, can offer middle-class parents an immediate way to escape underperforming public schools and send their children to more suitable private schools. To its great credit, Illinois has such a tax credit program. According to a description by The Friedman Foundation:

Parents receive a tax credit worth 25 percent of their expenditures after the first $250, up to a maximum credit of $500 per family. To get the maximum $500 credit, parents must spend $2,250 on educational expenses; they must also have a state tax liability of at least $500 because the credit is nonrefundable and thus cannot reduce an individual’s tax burden to less than zero.

Educational expenses must be for students who are residents of Illinois, who are younger than 21, and have attended kindergarten through 12th grade in a public or private school in Illinois or were homeschooled.56

The great aspect of the Illinois educational tax-credit program is that it is available to all Illinois taxpay-ers regardless of income level. Yet, as The Friedman Foundation points out, the program is hampered by some key shortcomings:

Illinois’ individual tax credit could be one of the country’s most effective choice pro-grams if it made some updates. On student eligibility, the program is accessible to all students statewide. Moreover, there are no unreasonable regulations placed on private schools. Those strong features are hurt, however, by the fact that participants have very little funding power with a maximum available credit of just $500. Illinois could improve this program dramatically by raising the tax credit allowance to at least the state’s aver-

Page 36: NOT AS GOOD AS YOU THINK  Why Middle-Class Parents in Illinois Should Be Concerned about Their Local Public Schools

30

age per-pupil expenditure in public schools and providing a refundable credit (similar to Alabama) so that low-income families can participate.57

As of 2011, the latest year for which statistics are available, there were 293,509 taxpayers participating in the program, and the average tax credit value was $277. Usage of the tax credit increased 77 percent from 2000 to 2011.58 If the value of the tax credit was raised, many more parents, including middle-class parents, could take advantage of the program and send their children to private schools that better meet their needs.

Increased choice for parents of all incomes, therefore, should be the guiding principle for Illinois policy-makers. Too many children in Illinois, including many from middle-class families, are going to under-performing schools. They have an inherent right, the same right enjoyed by the children of Sweden, to be able to attend a better school, whether public or private. As the late former Swedish education minis-ter Per Unckel has said:

Kids should never ever have to stay in a school if the school is lousy. The right of the kid is to get a good education. If the public sector cannot offer it, he or she should have the right to go somewhere else.59

This analysis for each grade in reading and math allows for the identification of schools that are performing above or below average performance based on the performance of all the other schools in the state. This column shows the number of grades at that school that were below the average performance of all other schools with the same percentage of low-income students.

% ELA Prof. / % Math Prof. The percentage of students that scored proficient or above in the Illinois Standards Achievement Test English-language-arts or math exams.

ELA LR Gap/Math LR GapA technique called linear regression-line modeling (LR in the tables) was used to estimate whether a relationship exists between the percentage of students in a school who are classified as low-income and the percentage of students who score proficient or above on the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (English-language-arts or math). This column shows the percentage points above or below the average (the linear regression line) for that grade based on the percentage of students who are low-income and the percentage of students who scored proficient or higher. A positive number means that the school is performing above the average and a negative number means that the school is performing below aver-age. The higher or lower the percentage, the larger the gap from the average.

Ponisciak, “Understanding the Prairie State Achievement Exam,” Consortium on Chicago School Research at the University of Chicago, September 2005, p. 4, available at http://ccsr.uchicago.edu/sites/default/files/publications/psae_report.pdf. Regarding the actual technical combining of the ACT and WorkKeys scores to develop a single PSAE score, the report says: “Students receive a score on a scale of 120 to 200 for each of the subjects tested by the PSAE. A student’s raw score on any subject test is equal to the number of questions answered correctly. For subjects covered by two tests, each raw score is converted to an equated raw score. This process controls for changes in test difficulty over time. For example, correctly an-swering 75 percent of the questions on an easier test might be equivalent to answering 60 percent correctly on a more difficult test. The equated scores are converted to standardized scores using the same mean and standard deviation each year, so that each student’s performance is placed in the context of all Illinois public school students over multiple years. The two standardized scores for each subject are averaged, and the average standardized score is converted to a PSAE scale score between 120 and 200. When this scale was established after the first PSAE administration in 2001, the state average score was set at 160, with a standard deviation of 15.” See pp. 3-4.

ABOUT P RIThe Pacific Research Institute (PRI) champions freedom, opportunity, and personal responsibility by advancing free-market policy solutions. It provides practical solutions for the policy issues that impact the daily lives of all Americans, and demonstrates why the free market is more effective than the government at providing the important results we all seek: good schools, quality health care, a clean environment, and a robust economy.

Founded in 1979 and based in San Francisco, PRI is a non-profit, non-partisan organization sup-ported by private contributions. Its activities include publications, public events, media commentary, community leadership, legislative testimony, and academic outreach.

Education StudiesPRI works to restore to all parents the basic right to choose the best educational opportunities for their children. Through research and grassroots outreach, PRI promotes parental choice in education, high academic standards, teacher quality, charter schools, and school-finance reform.

Business and Economic StudiesPRI shows how the entrepreneurial spirit—the engine of economic growth and opportunity—is stifled by onerous taxes, regulations, and lawsuits. It advances policy reforms that promote a robust economy, consumer choice, and innovation.

Health care StudiesPRI demonstrates why a single-payer Canadian model would be detrimental to the health care of all Americans. It proposes market-based reforms that would improve affordability, access, quality, and consumer choice.

Environmental StudiesPRI reveals the dramatic and long-term trend toward a cleaner, healthier environment. It also exam-ines and promotes the essential ingredients for abundant resources and environmental quality: proper-ty rights, markets, local action, and private initiative.

Praise for the Original Not as Good as You Think book

Many parents across the country have found out the hard way that the quality of public schools in the more affluent neighborhoods is often not what it’s cracked up to be. This new book by PRI re-veals that the supposedly “good” schools that these students attend are producing surprising—and often bad—results. Armed with the knowledge that their schools are coming up short, middle-class parents must take action and start demanding school choice options in their communities.

—William J. Bennett host of Morning in America Fellow of The Claremont Institute

Considerable attention and money have been devoted to the problems of urban schools, and rightly so. But this clearly-written and provocative book opens our eyes to the problems in suburbia as well. Suburban schools are clearly performing worse than they could. Many of the same reforms being tried in urban schools could help remedy the shortcomings of schools in middle-and up-per-class neighborhoods. —Jay P. Greene, Ph.D, author of Why America Needs School Choice and Endowed Chair and Head of the Department of Education Reform, University of Arkansas

This book confronts the depth of the challenge confronting public education, in California and across the country, and makes it more difficult for the apologists of the status quo to contin-ue to defend mediocrity. It helps sow the seeds of what can become a much-needed American education revolution. —Eugene Hickok U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education during President George W. Bush’s first term

Not as Good as You Think exposes the dirty secret underlying American public schooling: even the “best” public schools aren’t very good. Our nation’s universities are the world’s envy; our K-12 public schools are a world embarrassment. This book cogently tells the true story and points a clear direction toward greater choice and competition that is urgently needed for America to remain the most prosperous nation.

—Clint Bolick Director of Litigation at the Goldwater Institute Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution
