Summary

Fisher Grade School is a public elementary school serving 334 students in grades K-6 in the small town of Fisher, Illinois. The school is part of the Fisher CUSD 1 district, which is ranked 321 out of 811 districts in the state.

Fisher Grade School consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency, with particularly strong performance in 6th grade. However, the school faces some challenges, including increasing chronic absenteeism and lower performance for students in the Special Education subgroup. Interestingly, while the school's low-income students perform better than the state average, there are notable gender and racial performance gaps, with male students and white students underperforming compared to their peers.

Compared to nearby districts, Rantoul City School District 137 schools have significantly higher percentages of low-income students and lower academic performance, making Fisher Grade School a relatively high-performing school in the region.
