Summary

Cisne High School is a small school in Cisne, Illinois, serving 104 students in grades 9–12. Its latest results show a relative strength in English Language Arts (ELA), especially in grades 9 and 10, while earlier results point to a more persistent concern in math. The clearest concern is math: in 2024–2025, grade 11 ACT math proficiency was 17%, compared with 39% statewide and a 33% average at nearby schools with scores.

Recent ELA results compare favorably with the state and nearby schools. Grade 9 ELA was 61.5%, equal to the state and 6 points above the nearby-school average; grade 10 was 55%, 1 point above the state and second among nearby schools with reported scores, behind Flora High School at 59%. The latest grade 9 science result was weaker against the state—39% versus 47%—but close to the nearby-school average of 39%. Chronic absenteeism was 7%, well below the statewide 24% and close to the district’s 7%.

Results and standing have improved in some areas. The SchoolDigger statewide percentile rose from 31 in 2021–2022 to 55 in 2025–2026, when the school ranked 276 of 620 and received 3 stars; it had the highest percentile among nearby schools with a ranking, ahead of Wayne City High School at 52, Flora High School at 42, Fairfield Community High School at 33, and North Clay Community High School at 25. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 7.2, below every nearby school’s, and 44% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, close to the nearby average of 43%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings were notably higher for Low Socio Economic Status Students: the group ranked at the 78th percentile in 2024–2025, compared with the school’s overall 56th percentile. Graduation reached 91% in 2025–2026, up 20 points from 2021–2022 and 1 point above the state. The latest school math results are suppressed, so it is not possible to tell whether the earlier math pattern continued.
