Summary:
Fairmont School District 89 in Illinois has only one school, Fairmont School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 291 students. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Illinois elementary schools over the past three school years, indicating persistent challenges in student achievement.

The school's science assessment scores are also below the state average, with 36.8% of 5th graders and 28% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state averages of 40.6% and 45.4%.
Despite the Fairmont School District 89 spending $24,605 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, and having a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.4, the school's academic performance remains a concern. This suggests that the district may need to explore more effective strategies and resource allocation to better support the needs of its students and improve their learning outcomes.
