The parent response rate is 14% for the 2026 Illinois Supplemental Parent Survey!  Thank you so much already!!

As a reminder, schools need 20% of their parents to respond in order to receive a report. Also note a school must have a minimum of 8 responding parents in order to receive a report.

OPS125 students in grades 4th-12th will be given the opportunity to take this survey. If you do not want your child to take the survey, please contact your child's principal by February 11, 2026.   

Please be aware that under the Protection of Pupil Rights Act. 20 U.S.C. Section 1232(c) (1) (A), you have the right to review a copy of the questions asked of your student(s). 

Survey questions can be found on the Illinois 5Essentials Survey Questions. 

Students completed their winter diagnostics for Math & Reading using iReady. We will compare their scores to their fall diagnostics along with their historical data. Using this information we will attempt to recalibrate the tiered support offered to students. The tiered support ranges from:

  • Enrichments (Top 10-15% of student scores)
    • STEM
    • Art
    • Silent Reading
    • Physical Enrichments
  • Universal Supportive Classrooms (50% of student scores)
    • IXL support
    • Academic support
  • Moderate Supportive Classrooms (10% of student scores)
    • Reading & Math interventions by online instruction and teachers
  • Intensive Supportive Classrooms (15-20% of student scores)
    • Reading & Math interventions primarily by teachers and online instruction
