Schools
Education
A priority for local residents, schools in Arthur set high goals
for themselves. A low student to teacher ratio
ensures plenty of individual attention for students and a quality
education for all. Our students' achievement scores are the envy of
many other communities, with 95% or our high school seniors taking
the SAT and ACT exams and an overwhelming number of them going on to
attend college. Graduates of Arthur's school system include the dean
of engineering at Duke University, and Chairman of the Department of
Philosophy at U.C.L.A. Outstanding extra-curricular programs
including all the major sports, competitive music, show choir and
marching band programs, and a wide variety of clubs and groups
provide plenty to challenge Arthur's young people.
Our graduates don't have to go far to find a good college, either.
Three major universities, The University of Illinois, Eastern
Illinois University and Millikin University, plus an
aggressive junior-college, are located within 40 miles of Arthur,
with a wide variety of bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degree
options available.
Arthur Schools
Arthur CUSD #305 is a district of 600 students located in East Central Illinois. Arthur is a village of 2100 probably most noted for its Amish community. The Amish community surrounding Arthur brings many tourists to see horse power still used in farming and horse and buggies on the roads to town. Arthur is also notable for its excellent schools. Our students excel at academics, athletics, art and music, and in being good citizens. Come and see us sometime.
