Summary:
The city of Carmi, Illinois is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, operated by the Carmi-White County CUSD 5 district. The data reveals a mix of standout performers and areas for improvement across the schools.
Carmi-White County High School stands out with consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 441st to 191st out of Illinois high schools, and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Meanwhile, Washington Attendance Center and Carmi White County Junior High School have impressive test scores, outperforming district and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
However, the schools also face challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45% to 65%, and varying levels of chronic absenteeism, from 7.8% to 31%. The district's spending per student also varies, from $10,110 to $14,704 per student, which may be an area for further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation. Overall, the data suggests the district is making progress, but there are still opportunities to address socioeconomic factors and attendance issues to provide the best possible education for all students.
