Summary:
Christopher Unified School District 99 in Illinois has only one elementary school, Christopher Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school's academic performance has been a concern, with consistently low proficiency rates in Mathematics compared to the state average. However, the school faces challenges related to the socioeconomic status of its student population, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Christopher Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranking 1322 out of 2056 Illinois elementary schools in 2024-2025 (2 out of 5 stars), 1253 out of 2067 in 2023-2024 (2 out of 5 stars), and 1266 out of 2077 in 2022-2023 (2 out of 5 stars). In terms of academic proficiency, the school's performance is mixed compared to the state average, with English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates generally on par with or slightly below the state average, and Mathematics proficiency rates significantly lower than the state average across all grade levels.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it appears to have adequate resources and staffing, with a per-student spending of $12,579 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.3 for the 2023-2024 school year. The school's leadership and the Christopher Unified School District 99 may need to re-evaluate how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and address the specific needs of the school's student population.
