The school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly higher than both the district and state averages. In contrast, Coal City Elementary School has lower proficiency rates compared to the district, but still performs better than the state average.
The Coal City Early Childhood Center stands out for its focus on early childhood education, serving students in pre-kindergarten and first grade. This school has a relatively high spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to the overall academic success of the district. However, the district as a whole faces the challenge of addressing a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is an area for improvement.
