Audubon Community School District

The Audubon Community School District in Iowa consists of two schools: Audubon Middle-High School and Audubon Elementary School. The middle-high school has consistently ranked among the top high schools in Iowa, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three school years. In contrast, the elementary school's performance has been more variable, with its ranking fluctuating in recent years.

Audubon Middle-High School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with test scores significantly higher than the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels. The school's diverse student population, with 86.82% White, 1.01% African American, 8.11% Hispanic, and 4.05% two or more races, is another notable characteristic. The middle-high school also spends more per student ($15,381) compared to the elementary school ($11,029), which may contribute to its strong academic outcomes.

While Audubon Elementary School also performs well, with most grade levels exceeding the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, its ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from 395 out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 312 out of 565 in 2022-2023.
