The 2012 Report Card lists the total enrollment of the Glenbrook High Schools as 4,748, which is 14 fewer students than the previous year. The district’s graduation rate of 95.6% is down 2.4%, resulting from a change in the required reporting implemented in 2010-11 under the Federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). On average, 96-97% of Glenbrook graduates attend college.
NCLB sets annual targets for student achievement on the Illinois Prairie State Achievement Exams (PSAE). For 2012, 85% of all student subgroups are to meet or exceed standards on PSAE testing in order for the school to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The target level will rise by 7.5% each year, until the expectation level is 100% by 2014.
