Funding

How Illinois funds schools

Illinois distributes most state K-12 aid through Evidence-Based Funding (EBF) (2017): the state sets each district’s research-based Adequacy Target, compares its local resources to that target, and sorts districts into four tiers, steering most new money to the districts furthest below adequacy, while a Base Funding Minimum ensures no district receives less than the prior year. The law targets at least $350 million in new EBF funding each year.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Prairie Crossing Charter School are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

Illinois publishes the Illinois Report Card each year, reporting achievement and growth in English language arts and math, graduation, attendance, finances and climate, and assigns each school a summative designation (Exemplary, Commendable, Targeted or Comprehensive Support). Look up Prairie Crossing Charter School on the Illinois Report Card.

Accreditation

Accreditation status

Illinois does not use an outside accreditor for public districts; the Illinois State Board of Education grants official recognition status based on compliance with state standards, and private accreditation (for example through Cognia) is voluntary. See ISBE’s public-school recognition.
