BCLUW Community School District

The BCLUW Community School District consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves the communities in the BCLUW area and provides educational opportunities for students from kindergarten through 12th grade.

Among the schools in the district, BCLUW High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 88 out of 338 Iowa high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The high school consistently demonstrates strong academic achievement, with a high percentage of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, outperforming state averages. In contrast, BCLUW Elementary School has a 3-star rating and its performance, while still above state averages, has fluctuated in recent years, indicating a need for continued monitoring and improvement efforts.

Across the district, the student population is relatively homogeneous, with the majority of students identifying as White. Additionally, the schools have a significant portion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, as indicated by the high free/reduced lunch rates. The district's spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary, with the high school spending the most per student and having the lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.
