Black (last reported 2023) stops before 2025: IL suppresses a group once too few of its students are tested, so the line ends rather than the school having stopped testing.
Hispanic (last reported 2024) and Asian (last reported 2024) stop before 2025: IL suppresses a group once too few of its students are tested, so the line ends rather than the school having stopped testing.
