Best Public Schools in Central City, IA


Summary:

The Central City Community School District in Central City, Iowa, consists of two schools: Central City High School and Central City Elementary School. Both schools appear to be underperforming compared to other schools in the state, with low statewide rankings and below-average test scores.

Central City High School ranks 269th out of 338 Iowa high schools and receives only 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, suggesting significant room for improvement. Similarly, Central City Elementary School ranks 300th out of 557 Iowa elementary schools and receives 2 out of 5 stars. Both schools have a high percentage of white students, which may indicate a lack of racial diversity in the district.

Economically, the schools face challenges, with relatively high free/reduced lunch rates of 29.39% at the high school and 35.14% at the elementary school. Per-student spending is similar between the two schools, at around $15,500, but the below-average test scores raise questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the district. Additionally, the student-teacher ratios, while not extremely high, are still above recommended levels, which could contribute to the academic struggles observed in the district.
