All documents, files or data accessible on or through the Data Strategies & Analytics (“DSA”) website (this term includes, but is not limited to, this page, linked pages and subpages) of the Illinois State Board of Education (“ISBE”), its departments, boards, and offices are provided as a public convenience solely to facilitate public access to information.

Data accuracy.
These data used to create reports for educational entities on the DSA website have most likely been produced from data collected by DSA which were self-reported by each educational entity reported. Although the greatest care has been taken to ensure that DSA data are up to date and accurate, ISBE is providing these data AS IS. ISBE does not guarantee 100 % accuracy of these data; they may be outdated or have errors, omissions, typos and other inaccuracies. These data are what ISBE believes to be the best available data based on data submitted to ISBE by each educational entity reported. These data were most likely taken from a point-in-time data pull based on either state statute or federal mandated point-in-time reporting requirements. Reports that do not have a state statue or federally mandated posting date will be posted approximately the same time annually. These data may have changed since the last point-in-time report was produced and these data may be redacted where the n size was less than 10 observations.

Disclaimer of duty to continue provision of data.
Due to the dynamic nature of the Internet, resources that are free and publicly available one day may require a fee or restricted access the next, and the location of items may change as menus, homepages, and files are reorganized. ISBE does not undertake continuously to update DSA data posted on this website. ISBE and/or DSA may make improvements or changes in the data and information described herein at any time without notice. Users of the data assume all responsibility and risk for use of the DSA website. Users agree not to misuse, add to without permission, or misrepresent the data provided in any way. Please inform ISBE of any misuse of DSA data from this website.

(“PIPA)”, to protect the privacy of student education records and personal information of individuals. All direct identifiers have been removed from the micro-data contained in these data files; therefore, the public data files do not permit direct identification of any individuals.
