Community Consolidated School District 21

We're proud to announce that 12 CCSD21 schools have earned a "Commendable" designation on the Illinois Report Card! This annual statewide evaluation by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) assesses school performance based on academic growth, student success, and support initiatives. Achieving "Commendable" reflects our commitment to excellence in providing a well-rounded, supportive educational experience for every student. While Hawthorne didn’t receive a designation due to its focus as an early learning center, we’re equally proud of the incredible foundation it provides for our youngest learners. Thank you to our entire CCSD21 community for making this achievement possible!
