Best Public Schools in Griswold, IA


Summary:

The Griswold Community School District in Griswold, Iowa, consists of two schools: Griswold Elementary and Griswold Middle/High School. Based on the available data, Griswold Middle/High School appears to be the standout school in the district, consistently ranking higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings and outperforming the state averages in various academic areas, particularly in English Language Arts.

Griswold Middle/High School has a 4-star rating in the 2023-2024 school year, while Griswold Elementary has a 2-star rating. The middle/high school also has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (31%) compared to the elementary school (45.89%), indicating a relatively more affluent student population. Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with Griswold Elementary having a slightly more diverse student body.

While the data suggests Griswold Middle/High School is the stronger-performing school, it's important to consider the broader context of the district and community. The significant difference in free and reduced-price lunch rates between the schools may indicate socioeconomic disparities within the district, which could have implications for resource allocation and support services. Additionally, the relatively homogeneous racial demographics of the schools raise questions about the district's efforts to promote diversity and inclusion.
