Summary

Center Street Elementary School in Fairfield, Illinois, serves 296 students in grades 4–8. In 2025–26, its all-grades English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency was above the state average, but its math proficiency was below it. The most important finding for families is that math remains a clear weakness compared with the state and nearby schools.

ELA is a relative strength, though Center Street trails both its district and Cisne Middle School: 63% of Center Street students were proficient, compared with 56% statewide, 65% in Fairfield PSD 112, and 70% at Cisne. In math, Center Street reached 32%, below the state’s 40%, the district’s 37%, and Cisne’s 42%. Grade results show why the averages can be misleading: Center Street math was above the state in grades 7–8, but well below it in grades 5–6; grade 6 ELA was also slightly below the state and far below Cisne’s result for that grade.

Results over time show a strong ELA rebound but slower math progress: from 2023–24 to 2025–26, Center Street ELA rose from 44% to 63%, while math increased from 27% to 32%; the state’s math proficiency rose from 28% to 40%, widening Center Street’s gap to 8 points below. SchoolDigger ranks Center Street in the 51st statewide percentile with 3 stars in 2025–26, compared with the district’s 37th percentile and 2 stars, and Cisne’s 71st percentile and 4 stars. Center Street’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 12.4, versus 10.7 at Cisne; 67% of Center Street students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year, compared with 41% at Cisne. SchoolDigger’s group rankings show contrasting results: White Students ranked at the 24th percentile in 2025–26, below the school overall at the 51st percentile, while Low Socio Economic Status Students ranked at the 66th percentile, above the overall result.
