Summary:
The Meredosia-Chambersburg CUSD 11 district in Illinois operates three schools: Meredosia-Chambersburg Elementary School, Meredosia-Chambersburg Junior High, and Meredosia-Chambersburg High School. The data shows that all three schools are performing well below state averages on key metrics like test scores, chronic absenteeism, and graduation rates, indicating systemic challenges within the district.
The schools have extremely low proficiency rates on state assessments, with the elementary school, middle school, and high school all struggling to meet state standards. For example, in 2024-2025, the elementary school had only 17.9% of students proficient in ELA and 10.3% proficient in Math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5% respectively.

Additionally, the schools face high levels of economic disadvantage, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 70.59% to 83.02%. Despite the relatively high spending per student, ranging from $19,177 to $30,089, the schools are not seeing commensurate academic results. The district also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.4% to 25.4%, and a below-average four-year graduation rate of 89.0% at the high school. These findings suggest that the Meredosia-Chambersburg CUSD 11 district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students and addressing the root causes of the low performance will be crucial for improvement.
