Summary:

The Central CUSD 3 school district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Central Elementary Grade School and Central 3-4 Middle School. These schools serve students from grades K-4 and 3-4, respectively, within the Central CUSD 3 district, which is ranked 394 out of 811 districts in Illinois and rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Among the two schools, Central 3-4 Middle School stands out as a consistent performer, with its statewide ranking improving from 1105 out of 2077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 792 out of 2056 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school has higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the overall Central CUSD 3 district and the state of Illinois averages. For instance, in 2024-2025, the school had 56.3% proficiency in ELA and 45.2% proficiency in Mathematics, outperforming the district and state.

While both schools have similar chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the spending per student at Central 3-4 Middle School is slightly higher than at Central Elementary Grade School, at $12,221 and $11,792 per student, respectively. This suggests the district is investing more resources in the middle school, which may be contributing to its academic success.
