Summary:
The city of Preston, Iowa has only one public high school, Easton Valley Junior High / High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. This school has consistently underperformed compared to other high schools in Iowa, ranking in the bottom quarter of the state for the past three years with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Easton Valley Junior High / High School has an enrollment of 211 students, with a racial makeup that is predominantly white at 92.89%. The school's performance on standardized tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science falling short of the Iowa averages. However, the school's test score trends vary significantly across grade levels and subject areas, with 11th-grade students outperforming the state average in English Language Arts while 10th-grade students struggled.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $16,207, it has been unable to translate these resources into improved student outcomes. The Easton Valley Community School District will need to carefully examine the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and resource allocation to identify opportunities for targeted interventions and support to help Easton Valley Junior High / High School better serve its students and the Preston community.
