Summary:
The Lake Mills Community School District in Iowa consists of three schools: Lake Mills Elementary School, Lake Mills Senior High School, and Lake Mills Middle School. The data reveals that Lake Mills Elementary School is the standout performer in the district, consistently scoring well above the state average on assessments and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the middle school appears to be the weakest performer, with lower test scores and a lower SchoolDigger rating compared to the other schools.
The district has a total enrollment of 671 students, with the elementary school having the largest enrollment at 316 students. The schools have a predominantly white student population, with Hispanic students making up the next largest racial group. Interestingly, the middle school has the highest free/reduced lunch rate at 38.62%, compared to 31.33% at the elementary school and 27.62% at the high school. This suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement that the district may want to further investigate.
The data also reveals significant differences in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the three schools. The high school, with the highest spending per student and smallest class sizes, also performs better than the middle school. This could indicate that resource allocation and class size may be factors in student success. Overall, the data provides valuable insights into the strengths and areas for improvement within the Lake Mills Community School District, and the district may want to use these findings to develop strategies to support student learning and achievement across all grade levels.
