Peoria Public Schools currently has 326 children who are identified as homeless.

Peoria Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Sharon Desmoulin-Kherat has been named the 2025 Illinois Superintendent of the Year.

District 150 Superintendent Sharon Desmoulin-Kherat said under the proposed plan, Quest Charter Academy High School would become an alternative high school for students struggling with academics or mental health. The middle school would become a biliteracy program.

The latest Illinois State Report card found English-language arts (ELA) proficiency improved during the 2023-24 school year, while math continues to lag behind.

A new school year has begun in Peoria, and District 150 Superintendent Sharon Desmoulin-Kherat is optimistic new programs to combat chronic absenteeism and phone use will be successful.

Peoria Public Schools District 150 is putting almost $250,000 into a step toward entirely cell phone-free classrooms.

The move aligns with a recommendation from State Superintendent Tony Sanders, who cited that Quest was not in compliance with state charter law. He also said that Quest had failed to reach requirements established in the charter agreement with District 150.
