The Illinois State Board of Education has released "report cards" for each of the public schools in Illinois. You can search for specific schools here, but often the resulting link doesn't work. I noticed it's trying to open an ftp connection, so I thought I'd try to retrieve files by hand. Here is the ftp server welcome message; please note the misspellings and incoherent sentences:

A directory listing reveals that many report cards are simply not available. Way to go, public school system!
Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct, but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
