Illini Central Middle School stands out as the strongest performer, with the highest proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the other schools.

Additionally, the schools vary significantly in terms of student socioeconomic status, funding levels, and student-teacher ratios, which may be contributing factors to the observed differences in outcomes. The Illini Central CUSD 189 district leadership should prioritize addressing these disparities and ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education, regardless of which school they attend.
