Summary

Cissna Park Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 129 students in grades K-5 in Cissna Park, Illinois. The school is part of the Cissna Park CUSD 6 district, which is ranked 253 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cissna Park Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency, with particularly strong performance in 3rd grade. However, the school's 5th-grade students struggle more, with proficiency rates closer to the state averages. The school's female and male students have performed well, ranking in the top 430 and 530 Illinois elementary schools respectively, but the school's white students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 958. Cissna Park Elementary has also experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.5% to 25.4% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Cissna Park Elementary generally outperforms in ELA proficiency, but its Mathematics performance is more mixed. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 385 out of 2,086 Illinois elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 677 out of 2,056 in 2024-2025, is a concerning trend that the school may need to address through re-evaluating its strategies and interventions to improve overall academic performance and better serve its diverse student community.
