Frankfort Intermediate School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 1337 out of 2077 Illinois elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 1148 out of 2056 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades.

However, the data also reveals some concerning trends across the schools, such as high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% for the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools have a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.07% to 54.89% for the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting potential equity and access issues that may be impacting student outcomes. The data highlights areas where the schools can focus their efforts to improve, such as increasing Mathematics proficiency rates and addressing chronic absenteeism.
