Summary:
The Adair-Casey Community School District has only one elementary school, Adair-Casey Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 168 students. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high student-teacher ratio, it also faces several challenges that may be impacting its performance.
Adair-Casey Elementary School's overall statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 413 out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 259 out of 557 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's SchoolDigger rating has dropped from 1 star out of 5 in 2021-2022 to 3 stars out of 5 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are also below the state average in several grade levels, indicating a need to focus on improving its curriculum and instruction in these areas.
With over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school likely serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could be a contributing factor to its performance. To improve, the school and district may need to focus on addressing areas of academic weakness, supporting students from low-income families, and promoting greater diversity and inclusion initiatives to ensure that all students are receiving a high-quality education.
