Best Public Schools in Bismarck, IL

Summary:

The city of Bismarck, Illinois is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Bismarck-Henning Elementary School, Coop High School 1, and Bismarck-Henning Junior High School. These schools are part of the Bismarck Henning CUSD district.

Among the three schools, Bismarck-Henning Junior High School stands out with the highest statewide ranking, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates exceed the district and state averages, though its Mathematics proficiency lags behind. Bismarck-Henning Elementary School has shown improvement, moving from a 2-star to a 3-star rating, and its 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate is higher than the district and state averages.

However, all three schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and relatively high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The district could benefit from collaborating to address these common issues and share best practices to improve academic performance across all grade levels, particularly in Mathematics. By focusing on the strengths of the standout schools and addressing the identified areas for improvement, the Bismarck Henning CUSD can work towards providing a more equitable and high-quality education for all students.
