Minooka Intermediate School also has a 3-star rating, and its ELA proficiency rate of 61.9% is significantly higher than the state average of 53.1%.
Both schools serve a sizable population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates around 28-29%. Chronic absenteeism is also high at 25.4% for both schools.
