Best Public Schools in Chrisman, IL


Summary:

The city of Chrisman, Illinois, is home to three schools: Chrisman Elementary School, Chrisman High School, and Chrisman-Scottland Junior High School, all of which serve the Edgar County CUD 6 district. These schools have consistently struggled with low academic performance, attendance issues, and potential socioeconomic challenges.

Chrisman Elementary School stands out as the most underperforming, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below state averages and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 23%. Chrisman High School also struggles, with particularly low proficiency rates in SAT Mathematics (8%) and English Language Arts (20%), despite a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.5%. Chrisman-Scottland Junior High School has seen a concerning trend, dropping from a 3-star to a 1-star rating before improving to 2 stars, indicating ongoing challenges in academic performance.

Across all three schools, the data suggests significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients and relatively high spending per student. The small school sizes, ranging from 69 to 129 students, may also contribute to the difficulties in providing a diverse range of educational opportunities. Despite the high spending and small enrollments, the schools have not shown consistent, significant improvements in their academic performance over time, indicating the need for a deeper analysis of the underlying factors contributing to the challenges faced by the Chrisman school district.
