The 2021 List of Best In School Districts in Illinois is Out

The report cards are out for school districts across the Land of Lincoln and one district near Rockford is sits well above the rest. This is a repeat achievement for the district.

The top three districts in the Rockford area that rank best come in at #61, #52, and #34. All three districts that I would consider "Rockford-area" are the only ones to land in the top 100.

AND THE BRAGGING RIGHTS GO TO

#61: Pecatonica

At Niche.com, a former student had this to say about the district.

The staff are mostly kind and are willing to assist students achieve their goals in life whether academic or unrelated.

#52: Pecatonica

A former student at Pecatonica High said this...

In the end, I think I was very lucky in being able to attend this school, and I would do anything to repeat my experience again.

And the bragging rights go to Byron School District.

Here's what Superintendent Buster Barton had to say,

This acknowledgment reflects the significant value our District places on providing our students with the best educational experiences possible,” said District Superintendent Buster Barton.  “It also reflects the strong partnerships that have been established between our school staff and their students and families.   I congratulate everyone involved in this achievement.”
