Washington Attendance Center is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Carmi-White County CUSD 5 school district, located in Carmi, IL with about 337 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 6th 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.
