Best Public Schools in George, IA


Summary:

The city of George, Iowa is home to two schools that serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade: George-Little Rock Senior High School and George-Little Rock Middle School, both part of the George-Little Rock Community School District. While the high school is a standout performer with strong test scores and a low student-teacher ratio, the middle school lags behind the state average in several academic areas.

George-Little Rock Senior High School boasts relatively high test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, with 10th grade ELA proficiency at 81% compared to the state average of 73.8%. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.9, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, George-Little Rock Middle School has a lower statewide ranking, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in the past two school years, and slightly lower test scores compared to the state average, especially in 8th grade ELA and Math.

The significant difference in spending per student between the high school ($17,030) and middle school ($11,496) is noteworthy and may be a factor in the observed performance gap. Additionally, the high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, particularly at the high school level (42.28%), suggests that the schools serve a socioeconomically diverse population, which can be a positive indicator when schools effectively support students from various backgrounds.
