Summary:
The city of Eldora, Iowa is home to two schools: Eldora-New Providence Elementary School and South Hardin High School, which serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Both schools are part of the Eldora-New Providence Community School District and appear to be performing reasonably well, with some notable strengths.
Eldora-New Providence Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3-5, with particularly strong performance in 3rd grade. The school also benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4. South Hardin High School also performs well, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics exceeding the state average in most grades. The high school has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.
While both schools have predominantly white student populations, they lag behind the state average in Science proficiency for 5th and 10th grades. The district's focus on maintaining small class sizes and providing adequate funding appears to be contributing to the schools' academic success, but there may be room for improvement in addressing the lower Science proficiency rates and exploring ways to increase racial diversity among the student populations.
