Summary

Niles Intermediate School's academic performance, as measured by state test proficiency rates, is generally on par with or slightly above the district average but below the state averages. The school's proficiency rates range from 50.4% in 4th grade English Language Arts to 82.7% in 5th grade Mathematics, compared to state averages of 61.3% to 69.1%. Nearby schools like Seaborn Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary significantly outperform Niles Intermediate School, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points higher.

The school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.4% to 45.0% over the past few years, significantly above the state average.

Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and learning from the best practices of these other schools could help Niles Intermediate School elevate its performance.
