Oswego Community Unit School District 308 is regarded as one of the best school districts in the state. The quality of education offered here attracts new families and businesses and improves the financial investment that homeowners make. District 308’s exemplary teaching staff is the key to providing quality education.

Literacy is a major priority for District 308. Classroom teachers participate in assessment literacy-training sessions. These training sections focus on aligning classroom instruction and examinations with the Illinois Learning Standards. The district adopted a new literacy model that includes guided reading, phonics and vocabulary instruction, spelling, sustained reading and teaching and teacher read-aloud, and writing. Elements of the model are based on current research that drives the state and national emphasis on reading. Standardized tests indicate that all District 308 elementary schools exceed the state average in reading and writing and that performance is always improving. The Accelerated Reader Program is being used to help monitor comprehension and increase the volume of reading. Average class size and student-to-teacher ratios exceed state averages. In 2002, District 308 students performed above state averages in all areas.

As District 308 plans for the future with the growth of the community, it will be necessary to make the investments in new schools to ensure that each student has the opportunity to learn and succeed.
