Unity Elementary School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the CUSD 4 school district, located in Mendon, IL with about 213 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 3rd Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education.
