Central Intermediate School faces several key challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates, consistently low academic performance, and achievement gaps among student subgroups.

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.
