Coal City Middle School's physical education classes are currently engaged in a badminton unit, which has proven to be quite popular among the sixth and seventh graders.
In a sixth-grade science class project, students designed roller coasters to demonstrate their understanding of potential and kinetic energy, gravity, and inertia.
In the 2023-24 school year, 60.9% of Coal City Intermediate School students passed the ELA portion of the IAR test, according to the Illinois State Board of Education.
