Summary

North Mac Intermediate is an elementary school located in Girard, Illinois, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 205 students. The school is part of the North Mac CUSD 34 district, which is ranked 678 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Mac Intermediate faces significant challenges in improving student academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has seen a steady increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 16.2% in 2022-2023 to 25.4% in 2024-2025, which is significantly higher than the state average of 19.7% in 2023-2024. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in both subjects are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 43.5% of all students at North Mac Intermediate were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%, and in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 29.8%, while the state average was 38.5%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Pawnee Grade School, which is 14.73 miles away, North Mac Intermediate generally underperforms in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates across all grade levels. Additionally, the school's spending per student has fluctuated significantly, ranging from $7,294 in 2021-2022 to $21,883 in 2022-2023, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11:1 to 13.6:1 over the past few years, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students.
