This report, part of the Learning Renewal series, seeks to answer the following research question: How are Illinois districts and students recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic? It describes the trends in post-pandemic learning renewal for three key outcomes: standardized test scores, student enrollment and student attendance. The authors focus on trends across all these indicators at the state level, as well as in Chicago Public Schools (CPS), the largest district in Illinois and the fourth-largest school district in the nation. The findings reveal several bright spots in Illinois districts' progress toward post-pandemic recovery, reflecting dauntless efforts by students, parents, teachers, administrators, and others supporting them. Yet concerning drops in achievement and attendance persist, and they are especially pronounced for Black and Latino1 students as well as students eligible for Free/Reduced-Price Lunch (FRPL). In turn, the postpandemic period in Illinois continues to be characterized by widened academic disparities.
