Libertyville Elementary District 70 is being honored for its high student academic performance with a Bright A+ Award.

The 2013 Bright A+ Award is based on school districts with academic performance in the top 5 percent of the state. Libertyville was one of 60 districts in Illinois (out of 866) to receive the award, now in its 15th year.

''This is a reflection of our dedicated learning community; students, parents and staff,” Supt. Dr. Guy Schumacher said. “Being in the top 5 percent of the state comes from everyone working so hard. I'm extremely proud of our students and the educators who work with them.”

SchoolSearch, an Illinois company which provides school information to companies relocating employees, presents the award. The award is based on the Illinois Standards Achievement Test scores on reading, math and writing in third, fifth and eighth grades. For the award, the overall average percentage must place in the top level of the test scores.
