Washington Attendance Center

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

Washington Attendance Center serves 269 students in grades 4–6 in Carmi, within Carmi-White County CUSD 5. Its 2025–26 results show broad academic strength: proficiency was above state and district levels in both English Language Arts (ELA) and math, and fifth-grade science was above the state level.

Math is Washington’s strongest result against the state, while ELA is its smallest advantage; both are still above the state and district. Math proficiency was 63% versus 40% statewide and 58% districtwide, while ELA was 75% versus 56% statewide and 71% districtwide. Fifth-grade science was 71%, matching the district and exceeding the state’s 48%. Within the school, fifth-grade math stands out as a relative weak spot: 54% were proficient, compared with 72% in fourth grade and 64% in sixth grade. Washington also had lower chronic absenteeism than the state and district in 2025–26: 14%, compared with 24% statewide and 21% districtwide. Its ELA and math results were also higher than those at nearby Carmi White County Junior High School, by 8 and 20 percentage points, respectively.

ELA and math results have risen over the three years reported: ELA increased from 54% in 2023–24 to 75% in 2025–26, and math from 49% to 63%. The state gap widened in ELA, from 12 to 19 points, while the math gap ended wider than it began but fluctuated in between. Chronic absenteeism fell from 28% in 2021–22 to 14% in 2025–26, though it varied year to year. In 2024–25, Washington’s student–teacher ratio was 14.4, compared with 12.5 at the junior high; 47% of Washington students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, versus 52% there. SchoolDigger’s supplied information does not give Washington a rank or star rating; it ranked the junior high 473rd of 1,126 Illinois schools (58th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–26, but the schools serve different grades, so their schoolwide results are not same-grade comparisons.
