Percent meeting or exceeding the state standard, Illinois Report Card 2024–25
Asian (last reported 2022) 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.

Only groups IL reports for this school appear — small groups are suppressed at the source to protect student privacy, so a missing line means too few testers, not zero.
