Harmony Intermediate Center

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

Harmony Intermediate Center is a public middle school serving grades 4-6 in Belleville, Illinois, with 205 students and a student-teacher ratio of 18.8. However, the school faces several challenges, including low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

Academically, Harmony Intermediate Center lags behind the state and Harmony Emge School District 175 averages in proficiency rates for both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grades. In 2024-2025, only 51.3% of students were proficient in ELA compared to 53.1% statewide, and just 23.9% were proficient in Math compared to 38.5% statewide. The school's performance is particularly weak in Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 20.3% to 29.7% across the grade levels, well below the state and district averages.

Additionally, Harmony Intermediate Center has seen a concerning trend of increasing chronic absenteeism, rising from 17.0% in 2024-2025 to 26.3% in 2023-2024. This is significantly higher than nearby schools, such as Emge Junior High School, which has outperformed Harmony Intermediate Center in both ELA and Math proficiency rates. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Harmony Intermediate Center, ranging from 64.95% to 71.22% over the past few years, also raises questions about equity and access to quality education.
