Frankfort Township’s public schools outscore 94% of Illinois districts

In Frankfort Township, 48% of tested students are proficient in math, above the Illinois average (26%). The grade covers the four public school districts serving Frankfort Township, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests and graduation. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Illinois, not nationally.
