Summary:
Chebanse, Illinois, has one listed school, Chebanse Elementary School, serving kindergarten through fourth grade and enrolling 343 students. The school’s latest results show a clear difference by subject: math is above the Illinois average, while English language arts is below it. In 2025–2026, 53% of students were proficient in math, 13 percentage points above the state, while 50% were proficient in ELA, 6 points below the state.
There are no top or bottom schools to compare within Chebanse; the key contrasts are between subjects and grades at Chebanse Elementary. Third graders were above state results in both ELA (53% versus 48%, a 6-point advantage) and math (66% versus 49%, a 17-point advantage). Fourth graders were below the state in ELA (47% versus 56%, a 9-point shortfall), while math was essentially even at 42% in both. The all-grades math advantage is therefore especially strong in third grade, not fourth.
Results declined from the previous year: ELA fell 5 points, from 55% to 50%, and math fell 10 points, from 63% to 53%; the state averages rose in both subjects. SchoolDigger’s ranking also moved down, from the 72nd percentile and four stars in 2024–2025 to the 50th percentile and three stars in 2025–2026. Other context includes a 13.5 student–teacher ratio and 49% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025. Chronic absenteeism was 11% in 2025–2026, close to Central CUSD 4 at 11% and well below the state’s 24%. With only one school listed, these figures cannot show how it compares with other local schools.
