It is with great pride that I share the summative designations for Prairieview-Ogden CCSD #197. The success of PVO is a direct result of the strong work ethic of our teachers and staff, the perseverance and determination of our students, and the unwavering support of our families and community. During the 2025–2026 school year, PVO students performed above the state average in most categories evaluated for our overall designations.
Academic indicators play a major role in calculating these designations, and our performance here is something the PVO community should truly celebrate. Attendance was another key factor that elevated our results, with every school achieving an attendance rate above 90% last year. This remarkable stat underscores how deeply our families and community value our children's education.
The summative designations for each school building are listed below. For a deeper look into our overall designations, please visit the Illinois School Report Card website at www.illinoisreportcard.com.
• PVO North Elementary: Approaching Exemplary
• PVO South Elementary: Exemplary
• PVO Junior High: Exemplary
Sincerely,
Todd Wilson
