Armstrong-Ellis Cons SD 61

Located at 3571 Gifford Ave in Armstrong, Illinois, Armstrong-Ellis Consolidated School District 61 serves as a foundational educational hub for elementary and middle school students in Vermilion County. Operating as an open, traditional public school district outside of a supervisory union, it delivers targeted primary education ranging from Kindergarten through 8th grade within a single school facility. Set in a distant rural community connected to the broader Danville metropolitan area, the district offers families a stable, traditional academic pathway designed to nurture young learners through their early academic milestones before high school.

With an enrollment of 81 students across nine grade levels, the district offers an intimate, highly personalized educational experience. This compact student body is supported by a substantial staff context, including 21 full-time equivalent teachers and nearly 32 support personnel, bringing the total district staff to over 52 full-time equivalent positions. This unique staffing context creates an extraordinarily low student-to-teacher ratio, enabling educators to provide deep individual attention, strong academic intervention, and a close-knit learning atmosphere that caters directly to the needs of every child in the community.
