Best Public Schools in Blakesburg, IA

Summary:

The city of Blakesburg, Iowa has only one school, Blakesburg Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Blakesburg Elementary is part of the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Central School District. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some strong results in 5th-grade mathematics but struggles in 4th-grade English Language Arts compared to district and state averages.

Blakesburg Elementary's test scores on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) have been inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas. While the school's 5th-grade mathematics and science proficiency rates were higher than the state averages, its 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was significantly lower than the district and state. The school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have also fluctuated in recent years, indicating unstable performance.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $13,338, which is above the national average, Blakesburg Elementary's academic results do not necessarily reflect this level of investment. Additionally, the school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup that includes White, African American, Hispanic, and students of two or more races. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school improve its overall educational outcomes and better support its diverse student population.
