Summary:
The Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley CUSD 5 district in Illinois serves students from three schools: GCMS Elementary School, GCMS High School, and GCMS Middle School. The district demonstrates a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools, with GCMS High School and GCMS Middle School standing out as the top performers.
GCMS High School is the district's top-performing school, ranking 86 out of 697 Illinois high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school maintains a high 4-year graduation rate of 94.4% and outperforms the district and state averages in SAT Math and English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, GCMS Elementary School has lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages, indicating a need for improvement.
GCMS Middle School also stands out, ranking 398 out of 1,363 Illinois middle schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school demonstrates strong performance in English Language Arts, with 58.3% of students proficient or better, significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, all three schools in the district have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.5% at GCMS High School to 17.7% at GCMS Middle School, which may be an area of concern for the district to address.
