Summary

Chrisman-Scottland Junior High School is a small public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Chrisman, Illinois, with a student population of just 70 students. The school is part of the Edgar County CUD 6 district, which is ranked 584 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Chrisman-Scottland Junior High School faces significant challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the state and nearby schools. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 42.3% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 3.8% were proficient in mathematics, far below the state averages. The school's performance in science is also below the state, with only 27.8% of 8th-grade students proficient or better. Compared to nearby schools, such as Salt Fork Junior High School, which had 54% proficiency in English Language Arts and 16.7% in mathematics, Chrisman-Scottland Junior High School's academic performance is significantly lower.

The school's challenges extend beyond academics, with a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 14.4% to 26.3% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10 to 10.9 students per teacher, suggests a potentially favorable learning environment. Additionally, the school's performance for low-socioeconomic status (SES) students is a bright spot, with these students ranking in the top 25% of Illinois middle schools in the 2020-2021 school year. Overall, Chrisman-Scottland Junior High School faces significant hurdles in improving educational outcomes for its students, and a comprehensive review and implementation of strategies may be necessary to address these challenges.
