Aggregate national test score data have shown that student learning declined from SY19 to SY21, and that recovery began occurring from SY21 to SY22. To further the understanding of how districts in Illinois' performances have changed since the onset of the pandemic, the authors explored variation in districts' change in standardized test scores from SY19 to SY21 and SY21 to SY22. The authors compared each district's performance relative to other districts throughout the state in each time period. This report highlights some of the practices implemented by districts that reflect improvements in recovery above average.
