Best Public Schools in Shenandoah, IA

Summary:

The Shenandoah Community School District in Shenandoah, Iowa, consists of four schools: Shenandoah Elementary School, Shenandoah Middle School, Shenandoah High School, and IGNITE Online & Personalized Learning. The district serves students from elementary through high school, providing a range of educational opportunities in the Shenandoah area.

Shenandoah High School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the top 50 high schools in Iowa over the past three years and earning a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, are significantly higher than the district and state averages, indicating that it is providing a high-quality education for its students.

In contrast, IGNITE Online & Personalized Learning, the district's online/virtual school, lags behind the other schools in the district, with much lower test proficiency rates across all subjects and grade levels. This raises questions about the effectiveness of the online learning model and the support provided to students in this setting. Additionally, the district as a whole faces challenges related to economic disadvantage, with all schools having similar free/reduced lunch rates around 38-39%.
