Central Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Central Intermediate School is a public middle school in Monmouth, Illinois, serving 302 students in grades 4-6 as part of the Monmouth-Roseville CUSD 238 district. The school faces several challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, low academic proficiency in core subjects, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Central Intermediate School's chronic absenteeism rates have steadily increased from 14.8% in 2024-2025 to 26.3% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average of around 20%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have consistently lagged behind state and district averages, ranging from 24.5% to 35% proficient in ELA and 13.3% to 25.1% proficient in Math. In comparison, Knoxville Junior High School in a neighboring district has significantly higher proficiency rates in both subjects, outperforming Central Intermediate and the state averages.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending, which has increased from $9,977 in 2020-2021 to $13,131 in 2023-2024, the academic outcomes have not shown significant improvement. This suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or targeted to address the specific needs of the student population, which has a very high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 70.2% to 100% over the past few years. Addressing the root causes of the low performance, such as student engagement, instructional quality, and targeted interventions, could be crucial in improving Central Intermediate School's overall performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.
