Summary:
The city of Ida Grove, Iowa is home to two schools: Odebolt Elementary-Ida Grove and Odebolt Arthur Battle Creek Ida Grove High School, both part of the Odebolt Arthur Battle Creek Ida Grove Community School District. While the elementary school has a relatively high percentage of white students, the high school has performed well on state assessments, with proficiency rates above the state average in many subject areas and grade levels.
Odebolt Elementary-Ida Grove has a student-teacher ratio of 44.2, significantly higher than the high school's ratio of 13.4. This suggests that resources may not be evenly distributed between the two schools. Additionally, the elementary school has a higher free and reduced lunch rate of 49.68%, compared to 39.54% at the high school, indicating that the elementary school may serve a more economically disadvantaged population.
Despite the differences in student demographics and resource allocation, both schools have relatively high student-teacher ratios compared to state averages. This may be an area for the district to address in order to provide the best possible educational experience for all students in Ida Grove.
