KEMMERER VILLAGE SCHOOL

Kemmerer Village School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Central A & M CUD 21 school district, located in Assumption, IL with about 14 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th 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. With about 5 teachers, Kemmerer Village School has a student/teacher ratio of about 2:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Kemmerer Village School, located in Assumption, Illinois, is a specialized educational facility operating under the umbrella of the Kemmerer Village residential treatment center. It is designed to serve students who are facing significant emotional, behavioral, or academic challenges that make success in a traditional public school setting difficult. By providing a structured and supportive environment, the school focuses on helping youth stabilize their lives while maintaining continuity in their academic progress.

The educational approach at Kemmerer Village is highly individualized, often featuring smaller class sizes and specialized curriculum tailored to meet the unique needs of each student. The school works closely with the residential program’s therapeutic staff to create a holistic experience that balances academic instruction with social-emotional development. Ultimately, the school’s mission is to provide these students with the tools and confidence necessary to overcome obstacles, improve their behavior, and eventually transition back into mainstream educational settings or prepare for post-secondary opportunities.
