Champaign CUSD 4

Summary:

The Champaign CUSD 4 district in Illinois consists of 17 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 539 out of 813 in Illinois and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their strong performance. South Side Elementary School ranks 556 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and is rated 4 stars, with impressive proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Carrie Busey Elementary School also performs well, ranking 750 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating. At the high school level, Central High School stands out, ranking 149 out of 697 Illinois high schools and earning a 4-star rating with strong academic performance on state assessments.

However, the data also reveals significant variation in school performance across the district. While some schools excel, others struggle with low proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism, particularly those with higher percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic outcomes that the district may need to address through targeted interventions and support for underperforming schools and student subgroups.
