Carlinville Middle School

My son attended 4th grade and is now in 5th at CIS. The principal, teachers, and administrative staff we have encountered have been excellent in their teaching methods (Common Core "Illinois Learning Standards") and in their concern for students. The lunches are reportedly tasty and healthy, and teaching/administrative staff members are wonderful about communicating with parents. I am aware of bullying issues which go unnoticed, however, mainly [in my opinion] due to General State Aid funds being cut for rural districts. The classes are overcrowded - one teacher for 25 students - and there are too few aides.
