Pawnee CUSD 11

Summary:

The Pawnee CUSD 11 district in Illinois operates two schools: Pawnee Grade School, an elementary school, and Pawnee Junior/Senior High School. The district serves a mix of students, with the elementary school having a higher rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients compared to the high school.

Pawnee Grade School has maintained a strong 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, ranking in the top half of Illinois elementary schools.
