Blue Ridge Gets Concerning News in Recent School Report Card

School report card data was recently released by the Illinois State Board of Education and a DeWitt County district is concerned about one of its building's performance.

 

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Dr. Hilary Stanifer, Superintendent of Blue Ridge Schools told Regional Radio one of its buildings received the designation of 'targeted' which means more support from the State will be coming their way.

 

 

Dr. Stanifer would not specify which group is struggling but did attribute a lot of the struggles to COVID learning struggles.

 

 

According to Dr. Stanifer, the district is already taking steps to mitigate these concerns and explains through the Tri-County Education Association that is going to assess students and help educators understand where each student is at.

 

 

Dr. Stanifer says the school report card highlighted a good graduation rate in Blue Ridge Schools as well as good teacher retention despite factors like class sizes that continue to grow.
