Summary:
The Alta-Aurelia Community School District in Iowa is home to two elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Alta Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, while information on Aurelia Elementary School is more limited.
Alta Elementary School has seen a remarkable improvement in its statewide ranking, climbing from 261st in 2020-2021 to 29th in 2023-2024 and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are exceptionally high, with over 90% of 3rd and 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, significantly outperforming state averages. Despite having a diverse student population and a higher percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients, Alta Elementary is achieving these impressive academic outcomes with a lower spending per student compared to Aurelia Elementary School.
In contrast, Aurelia Elementary School lacks statewide ranking information, making it difficult to assess its performance relative to other schools in the state. The available data shows that Aurelia Elementary has a higher percentage of white students and a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients compared to Alta Elementary, but without additional academic outcome data, a comprehensive comparison between the two schools is not possible.
