Summary:
The South O'Brien Community School District in Iowa has one elementary school, South O'Brien Elementary School Primghar Center, which serves students from grades K-6. The school has an enrollment of 324 students and a relatively low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a more affluent student population.
Academically, the school's performance is uneven across grade levels and subject areas. While the upper-grade students (5th and 6th) perform well above the state averages in English Language Arts, math, and science, the 3rd-grade students lag significantly behind their peers statewide in these subjects. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its early-grade instruction and interventions.
The school's higher-than-average per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that the district is allocating significant resources to this school. However, it would be important to explore how these resources are being utilized and whether they are effectively supporting student learning, especially in the lower grades where academic performance is lagging.
