Summary:
Christopher Unified School District 99 in Illinois contains a single high school, Christopher High, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.1% in mathematics to 33.3% in English Language Arts for 11th-grade students, compared to state averages of 39.3% and 51.7%, respectively.
Christopher High has a 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a dropout rate of 2.4% for the 2024-2025 school year. The school's per-student spending for the 2023-2024 school year was $20,164, which is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 10:1, indicating relatively small class sizes. However, the school serves a predominantly low-income population, with 63.27% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.
The data suggests that Christopher Unified School District 99 may need to focus on improving the academic performance of Christopher High, particularly in mathematics and science, to better support the needs of its students. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 419 out of 699 Illinois high schools in 2022-2023 to 492 out of 698 in 2024-2025, indicates a concerning trend that the district should address through targeted interventions and strategies.
