Chicago, IL, November 15, 2022? Bronzeville Academy Charter School (BACS) stands highly distinguished when it comes to quality standards and compliance. As a result, The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) has recognized our school with its ?Commendable Annual Summative Designation? in 2022.

A Big Thank to Everyone Who Believed in Us!
We are glad to share this news with everyone and would like to thank all the team members who invested their valuable time and efforts in achieving this goal. With this recognition, we are now committed to eventually standing among the highest performing 10 percent of schools soon.

At Bronzeville Academy Charter School, our mission is to develop scholars into contributing members of a global community, through a nurturing, comprehensive, and meaningful education. We prove it by delivering quality education and sustaining consistent performance.

What Made Us Achieve This Recognition?
After 2019, ISBE issued Annual Summative Designations under this act for the first time in 2022. The board has also amended the Illinois Accountability System with the U.S. Department of Education.

It was a great chance for us to get recognized while coming out of COVID-19 restrictions. We made considerable progress in complying with ?The Federal Every Student Succeeds Act? and fulfilled a wide range of academic and student success indicators considered for Annual Summative Designations.
