Summary:
The city of Allison, Iowa has a single public elementary school, North Butler Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the North Butler Community School District. With a total enrollment of 296 students, North Butler Elementary generally performs above the state average in standardized test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
North Butler Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. The school also spends more per student ($12,806) compared to the state average. However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 220 out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 244 out of 557 in 2023-2024, suggesting that factors beyond just test scores influence the school's performance.
While North Butler Elementary's academic achievements are commendable, the school's student population is predominantly white, with over 95% of students identifying as such. This lack of diversity may be an area for the school to address in order to better prepare students for the diverse world they will encounter after graduation.
