Nathan Hale Intermediate is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Crestwood, Illinois, with 179 students. The school is part of the Cook County School District 130, which is ranked 727 out of 811 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the relatively high spending per student at Nathan Hale Intermediate, ranging from $15,057 to $23,659 over the past few years, the school's academic performance has been consistently low compared to state and district averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 43.5% of students were proficient or better in ELA, and 24.4% were proficient or better in Math, compared to state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school's performance also lags behind the district in both subjects. Additionally, Nathan Hale Intermediate has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.9% to 28.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Lane Elementary School in the Alsip-Hazlgrn-Oaklwn School District 126, Nathan Hale Intermediate generally underperforms in both ELA and Math proficiency rates. The school's performance has also been declining over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1249 out of 2046 schools in 2015-2016 to 1429 out of 2056 schools in 2024-2025. This trend suggests the need for significant interventions to improve student outcomes at Nathan Hale Intermediate.
