The 62084 zip code area has only one elementary school, Central Intermediate School, which serves grades 3-5 and is part of the Roxana CUSD 1 district. The school's academic performance is consistently below state averages, with declining statewide rankings over the past three years. Central Intermediate School faces challenges such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which can contribute to its academic struggles.
Central Intermediate School's statewide ranking has dropped from 1181 out of 2077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1300 out of 2056 in 2024-2025, indicating that the school is falling behind its peers. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science are all below the state averages, with the highest proficiency rate being 43.4% in 5th-grade ELA, compared to the state average of 53.1%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement.
Despite the school's academic challenges, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (63.11% in 2023-2024) suggests that the school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged population, which can present additional obstacles to providing a high-quality education. Overall, the data indicates that Central Intermediate School is facing significant challenges in delivering strong academic outcomes for its students.
