In 2020 the enrollment was about 1,400. That year, the district was determining the internet statuses of families during the COVID-19 pandemic in Illinois, which disrupted in person education and required an internet-based education for a period.[2] In 2023 the district began using the Affordable Internet Program to allow families of students to obtain internet service which had a cost lower than the standard cost.[3]
In 2023 the district was searching for a superintendent. Robert Beskow of the Hometown Register stated that "many in the community [were] airing their frustrations" when the board of trustees did not select Amy Dixon, a principal and administrator, for the position; Beskow described her as "a popular choice".[4] By November, of that year Dixon became the superintendent of Harrisburg Unit District 3.[4]
As of the 2022-2023 school year, the district operates Brownsville Attendance Center (1-12) but there were zero students.[5]
