SUMNER ATTENDANCE CENTER

Sumner Attendance Center is a Title I public middle school that is part of the Red Hill CUSD 10 school district, located in Sumner, IL with about 210 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.
