Best Public Schools in Chrisman, IL

Summary:

The city of Chrisman, Illinois is home to three schools: Chrisman Elementary School, Chrisman High School, and Chrisman-Scottland Junior High School, all of which are part of the Edgar County CUD 6 district.

Among the three schools, Chrisman High School stands out with a high ranking of 285 out of 698 Illinois high schools, a strong 4-year graduation rate of 89.0%, and above-average performance in ACT English Language Arts and science. Chrisman Elementary School also excels, outperforming the district and state averages in 3rd grade IAR/English Language Arts and Mathematics. However, the district as a whole is ranked 584 out of 811 in Illinois and rated 1 star, indicating room for improvement across the schools.

A key concern across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which can significantly impact student learning and academic achievement. Additionally, there are inconsistencies in performance across grade levels, with Chrisman Elementary School students performing well in 3rd grade but struggling in 4th and 5th grade, and Chrisman-Scottland Junior High School having a wide range of performance across grades. The district should address these issues to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
