Summary:
The Christopher Unified School District 99 in Illinois operates two schools - Christopher Elementary School and Christopher High. While Christopher Elementary shows some strengths in English Language Arts, particularly in the upper grades, Christopher High struggles with low proficiency rates in both SAT Math and ELA, suggesting a potential disconnect in academic preparation as students transition from elementary to high school.
Christopher Elementary School has relatively high proficiency rates in 7th and 8th grade ELA, exceeding state averages, but struggles with math proficiency, with most grades well below state averages. In contrast, Christopher High has very low SAT Math (7.6%) and SAT ELA (14.8%) proficiency rates, well below state averages. Both schools also face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding 20%.
The data highlights significant disparities in performance between the elementary and high school levels within the Christopher Unified School District 99. Addressing the low math proficiency, high chronic absenteeism, and the disconnect in academic preparation should be key priorities for the district's leadership and educators to ensure all students in the community receive a well-rounded and effective education.
