Bright A+ä Awards to Illinois School Districts Serving High School Students
(The secondary criterion for the Bright A+ä Award is based on the ACT all students tested composite score.)

SchoolSearchä honors school districts with three distinct awards throughout the school year:

• Bright A+ä Award - school districts whose students’ academic performance ranks in the top 5% of all Illinois school districts. This award is especially useful to families looking for a school district with a rigorous academic environment.



• Bright Starä Award - school districts that shine in spite of low funding (SchoolSearchä is not a proponent of low funding for school districts). This award helps families find a strong school district in an area with more affordable housing.



• Bright Red Appleä Award - based on the primary areas of concern of most relocating families: Academic Performance, Pupil/Teacher Ratio, Expenditure Per Pupil, Educational Level of Teachers & Average Teacher Salary. This award is beneficial to families looking for an all around great school system based on family-favored qualities.
