Summary:
The city of Christopher, Illinois is home to two schools: Christopher Elementary School and Christopher High School, both part of the Christopher Unified School District 99. While Christopher Elementary shows strong performance in English Language Arts, particularly in the upper grades, it struggles significantly in math across all grades. In contrast, Christopher High School has low proficiency rates in both SAT Math and ELA, indicating a need for improvement in core academic areas.
Both schools face challenges, with high rates of free/reduced lunch and chronic absenteeism, suggesting that students are facing significant economic and attendance-related obstacles that may be impacting their academic outcomes. The per-student spending at both schools is higher than the state average, but the academic results do not seem to reflect this level of investment, raising questions about resource allocation and efficiency within the district.
Overall, the data highlights the need for a deeper examination of the factors contributing to the academic performance of Christopher Elementary and Christopher High, with a focus on addressing the disparities in math proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and overall district-level challenges. Targeted interventions and resource allocation strategies may be necessary to improve the educational outcomes for students in the Christopher community.
