all schools rated exemplary

On October 312, the Illinois State Board of Education released its School Report Cards for the 2025-2026 school year. Each year ISBE categorizes schools across the state based on a number of different factors.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that all three of our schools were rated as Exemplary for 2026. This is the highest category the state offers!

While this extraordinary achievement is centered on 2026, it is important to note that this rating truly is the result of many years of work here in Mokena. The work our students, staff and families do on a daily basis has a direct impact on our students each and every day. This truly is the culmination of many years of work.

We have created a highlights document that summarizes key takeaways from the district and the three schools' report cards. We hope you will take a few minutes to review the attached document found below.
