My granddaughter, Elora Thomas, is in 7th grade there and gets to be in classrooms with 20 children instead of 30 or more.

The Chrisman Jr. High has very small class sizes most of the classes consist of around 13 students. There is the most awesome staff and special ed department.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Illinois used the Illinois Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) to test students in grades 3 through 8 in reading and math, and in grades 4 and 7 in science. The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Illinois. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
