Summary:
The Calamus-Wheatland Community School District in Iowa consists of two schools: Calamus-Wheatland Elementary Attendance Center (grades PK-6) and Calamus-Wheatland Sec Attendance Center (grades 7-12). The district's schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with the elementary school standing out for its consistently high test scores across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
At the elementary school, 3rd-6th grade students performed significantly above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the ISASP assessments, with particularly impressive results in 3rd grade Mathematics. The school also benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, which may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, the secondary school has a higher student-teacher ratio of 10.4 but still manages to excel, with 76.5% of 8th graders proficient or better in Science, outperforming the state average.
While the schools in the Calamus-Wheatland Community School District demonstrate strong academic performance, the district may benefit from further analysis of its racial and socioeconomic dynamics to ensure equitable access and support for all students. The higher free/reduced lunch rate at the elementary school suggests the need to allocate additional resources and support to address potential socioeconomic disparities between the two schools.
