Summary:
The Keokuk, Iowa school district consists of 4 schools: 2 elementary schools (Hawthorne Elementary and George Washington Elementary), 1 middle school (Keokuk Middle School), and 1 high school (Keokuk High School). The district faces some academic challenges, with Keokuk High School's performance declining and inconsistent proficiency rates across grade levels in the elementary and middle schools.
Hawthorne Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, ranking 175 out of 626 Iowa elementary schools and excelling in 3rd-grade math proficiency. George Washington Elementary also performs well, particularly in 5th-grade math, where 84.7% of students are proficient or better, significantly higher than the Iowa state average of 70.7%.
However, the district as a whole struggles to meet state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and Keokuk High School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and proficiency rates. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 53.34% to 67.67%, suggest socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes across the district.
