COAL CITY INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL

Coal City Intermediate School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Coal City CUSD 1 school district, located in Coal City, IL with about 300 students offering grade levels from 4th Grade to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 18 teachers, Coal City Intermediate School has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Coal City Intermediate School, located at 305 E Division St in Coal City, Illinois, serves as a vital component of the Coal City Community Unit School District 1. The school is dedicated to bridging the academic gap between elementary and middle school years, typically focusing on upper elementary grade levels (generally 4th and 5th grades). Its mission emphasizes fostering a supportive environment that prioritizes core academic growth, social-emotional development, and the transition toward more independent learning habits as students prepare for the rigors of middle school.

Beyond its academic curriculum, the school is deeply integrated into the small-town fabric of Coal City. The facility acts as a community hub that encourages parental involvement and extracurricular engagement, helping to build a sense of unity among students and families. With a focus on foundational skills and character building, Coal City Intermediate strives to prepare its students to become responsible, successful members of the broader district community.
