Best Public Schools in Greenfield, IA

Summary:

The city of Greenfield, Iowa is home to two schools: Nodaway Valley Elementary School and Nodaway Valley High School, both part of the Nodaway Valley Community School District. The data analysis reveals that Nodaway Valley Elementary School stands out for its consistently high performance in mathematics, with over 75% of 4th and 5th graders scoring proficient or better on state assessments. In contrast, Nodaway Valley High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, dropping from 158 out of 332 Iowa high schools in 2021-2022 to 187 out of 338 in 2023-2024.

Nodaway Valley Elementary School also demonstrates strong performance in English Language Arts, with 4th-grade students outperforming the state average by over 6 percentage points. This success may be attributed to the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1. Nodaway Valley High School, on the other hand, is outperforming the state average in English Language Arts for 10th and 9th grade students, with 78.3% and 78.4% proficiency, respectively. However, the high school's academic performance has declined, as evidenced by its decreasing statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating.

Both schools serve a student population that is predominantly White, with Nodaway Valley High School having a slightly more diverse student body, including 2.07% Native American and 3.11% two or more races. Additionally, the schools have relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, around 46%, indicating that a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income households. This socioeconomic factor may play a role in the schools' academic outcomes and resource allocation.
