​​ ISBE's Assessment Inventory Results Tracker  is offered as a tool to help school districts meet reporting requirements under Illinois School Code 105 ILCS 5/22-82. In accordance with this statutory requirement, before the 30th day of each school year districts shall report the following for each of its schools:

Every reliable assessment that measures a certain group or subset of students in the same manner with the same potential assessment items; is scored by a non-district entity; is administered either statewide or beyond Illinois, such as assessments available from the Northwest Evaluation Association, Scantron Performance Series assessments, Renaissance Learning's STAR Reading Enterprise assessments, Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate examinations, or ACT's Educational Planning and Assessment System tests; and will be administered by each school that school year.

  1. The administration window for each of these assessments and the name of the entity that is requiring it (e.g., State, school district, network or principal).
  2. The grade levels that will take the assessment.
  3. The subsets of students, such as English Learners and special education students, that will take the assessment.
  4. An estimate of the average time it will take a student to complete the assessment.
  5. How assessment results will be used, if they will be used for purposes other than for guiding instruction. For example, they may be used for promotion, course placement, graduation, teacher evaluation, or school performance ratings. ​

Early Literacy Screener

A skills-based universal screener or skills-based assessment is a brief informative tool used to measure academic skills in one of six general areas (basic reading skills, reading fluency, reading comprehension, math calculation, math problem-solving, written expression). Skills-based assessments can be used for screening and weekly or biweekly progress monitoring. In accordance with Illinois School Code 105 ILCS 5/10-20.53a, districts must report on or before the 30th day of the school year that serves students in any of grades kindergarten through third​ the following information:

  • any early literacy screeners used by the district in grades kindergarten through 3, including which skill areas the screener is intended to identify;
  • the grade level of students who are administered the early literacy screeners;
  • the frequency with which the early literacy screeners are administered to students, by grade, each year.

Guidance for districts on universal screeners to support literacy is available to provide information to support early literacy screening. This is optional for school year 2026, but will be a requirement in school year 2027.​​​

Assessment Survey for School Year 2025-26

The ninth annual District Assessment Survey is now available. Legislation requires each school district to report information to ISBE concerning the administration of standardized assessments, as defined by Illinois School Code 105 ILCS 5/22-82, to students at each school. Please note that it is not necessary to provide information on locally developed assessments. The law requires schools to make this information public via the school district's website or distribution in paper form. Districts can comply with this requirement by linking to the assessment survey results. This will also allow districts to track their completion rate. The survey will dynamically populate data submitted in the previous year for review and editing as needed.

We appreciate your assistance with completing the form before Thursday, November 20, at 5 p.m.
