Summary:
The Camanche Community School District in Iowa has only one elementary school, Camanche Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. With 394 students enrolled, Camanche Elementary has a student-teacher ratio slightly lower than the state average, and its spending per student is higher than the state average. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the ISASP, is generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts.
Camanche Elementary's free and reduced-price lunch rate of 39.09% indicates a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, which could be a contributing factor to the school's lower academic performance. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 417 out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 410 out of 557 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Camanche Elementary's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio suggest a focus on providing resources for students, these investments do not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes for the students. The school's declining statewide ranking and lower-than-average proficiency rates on standardized tests indicate that there may be room for improvement in the school's educational programs and support for students.
