STAR Testing
The first assessment will be STAR which is administered to our 9th graders in order to give us helpful insight on individual student achievement. To better understand the assessments administered to students across the District, District 117 has developed an assessment calendar.
Congratulations to our students on their success with the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) exams! Every fall, the AP Program recognizes high school students who have demonstrated outstanding college-level achievement through their performance on multiple AP Exams. Keep soaring right up to the top!
