Central Intermediate School

Summary:

Central Intermediate School is a public elementary school located in Roxana, Illinois, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 353 students. The school is part of the Roxana CUSD 1 district, which is ranked 541 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Central Intermediate School faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low academic performance, and achievement gaps among student subgroups. The school's chronic absenteeism rate has risen significantly, from 8.2% in 2019-2020 to 29.2% in 2020-2021, notably higher than the state average of 19.3%. Academically, only 25% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 41.2%, and just 21.1% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state average of 28.4%. When analyzing student subgroups, the school's rankings for African American, White, and Multi-racial students, as well as for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students, are in the bottom quartile of Illinois elementary schools, indicating significant achievement gaps.

Comparing Central Intermediate School to nearby schools, such as South Primary School in the same district and Parkside Primary School and N O Nelson Elementary School in the Bethalto CUSD 8 and Edwardsville CUSD 7 districts, respectively, reveals that while Central Intermediate School's spending per student is higher than some nearby schools, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. Addressing the root causes of these issues, such as attendance, instructional practices, and support for underperforming student groups, will be crucial for the school to improve and better serve its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
