Summary

Mokena Intermediate School is a public elementary school serving grades 4-5 in Mokena, Illinois, part of the Mokena School District 159. With 336 students, the school has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency.

Mokena Intermediate School's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with 69.3% of students proficient or better in ELA and 65.6% in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 53.1% and 38.5%, respectively. The school also excels in the performance of specific student subgroups, ranking among the top 25 Illinois elementary schools for Hispanic students and top 170 for low socioeconomic status students in ELA and Mathematics proficiency. However, the school's performance for White students is significantly lower than that of Hispanic students, suggesting the need to address any achievement gaps and ensure equitable opportunities for all student subgroups.

While Mokena Intermediate School maintains a strong 4-star rating, its statewide ranking has declined from 325 in 2023-2024 to 363 in 2024-2025, indicating that the school may need to address certain areas to maintain its high performance and continue improving. Additionally, the school has seen an increase in chronic absenteeism, reaching 25.4% in the 2024-2025 school year, which is still better than the state average of 26.3% but remains a concern that the school and district should address.
