Summary

Frankfort Intermediate School is a public elementary school located in West Frankfort, Illinois, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 419 students. The school is part of the Frankfort CUSD 168 district, which is ranked 664 out of 811 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frankfort Intermediate School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with its performance on state assessments (IAR and ISA) falling below the state averages across all grades and subjects. In 2024-2025, only 45.9% of students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%, and only 31.2% were proficient or better in Math, compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, with proficiency rates dropping from the mid-40s in ELA and mid-20s in Math in 2023-2024 to the low 30s in ELA and mid-teens in Math in 2024-2025. The school's performance for white students, who make up over 90% of the student population, is particularly low, ranking in the bottom 15% of Illinois elementary schools.

While Frankfort Intermediate School's performance is generally lower than the nearby Akin Community Cons Elementary School, which is ranked in the top 20% of Illinois elementary schools and outperforms the state averages in both ELA and Math, it performs better than some of the other nearby schools, such as Thompsonville Grade School and Zeigler-Royalton Elementary School, which also struggle with low academic achievement. Frankfort Intermediate School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.3% to 29.5% over the past few years, which likely contributes to the school's low academic performance.
