Summary:
The GMG Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, GMG Secondary School, which serves students in grades 7-12. The school's academic performance and quality metrics show some areas of strength but also significant room for improvement compared to state averages.
GMG Secondary School's student population is predominantly White (91.94%), with smaller percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. The school has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 44.55%, indicating many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) vary across grade levels and subjects, with some areas, such as 11th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, performing better than the state average, while others, particularly 7th and 8th grade Mathematics, struggle to meet state benchmarks.
The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 164th out of 336 Iowa high schools in 2022-2023 to 203rd out of 338 in 2023-2024. Its SchoolDigger rating has also declined, from 3 stars out of 5 in 2022-2023 to 2 stars out of 5 in 2023-2024 and 2021-2022. These trends suggest the need for targeted interventions and improvements to address the school's academic performance and overall quality.
