How to read this. Illinois suppresses results for groups with too few students tested. Schools without a reportable Black student result are excluded rather than shown as zero — 1,127 of Illinois' schools have reportable data, concentrated in the 33 counties where enough Black students are tested to report. Because every state sets its own proficiency standard, Illinois figures should not be compared against another state's.
