Central Intermediate School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Central Intermediate School serves 318 students in grades 4–6 in Monmouth, Illinois, and is compared here with six nearby schools. Its clearest strengths are mathematics relative to nearby schools and a low rate of chronic absenteeism; however, proficiency in both IAR subjects remains below state results. The most important finding for families is that attendance is a standout, but it has not yet translated into state-level achievement: chronic absenteeism is 11% while all-grades ELA and math proficiency are 42% and 31%.

Compared with the district and state, Central is ahead in both subjects but has room to improve: ELA is 3 percentage points above Monmouth-Roseville CUSD 238 and 14 below the state; math is 5 points above the district and 9 below the state. Among seven nearby schools, Central’s all-grades math is second-highest and its ELA is fourth; these broad comparisons include schools with different grade spans. The direct comparison with United Intermediate School, which also serves grades 4–6, shows Central behind in every matched grade and subject, with the largest gap in fifth-grade ELA at 35 points. Fifth-grade science is another concern: 29% at Central versus 48% statewide and 61% at United. Attendance is the strongest nearby distinction: Central’s 11% rate is the lowest among the seven schools, below the next-lowest, Knoxville Junior High School, at 16%.

Results have improved over three years: ELA proficiency rose 18 percentage points, from 25% in 2023–2024 to 42% in 2025–2026, while math rose 17 points, from 13% to 31%; the math gap to the state narrowed from 15 points to 9. Grade-level results are uneven: sixth-grade ELA is 56%, just 2 points below the state, while fifth-grade ELA is 31%. Central’s student-teacher ratio was 12.5 in 2024–2025, and 60% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger rank and star-rating information is not supplied, and the older all-grades science result cannot be compared directly with the current fifth-grade result.
