Summary:
The Charles City Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Charles City High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has an enrollment of 534 students and faces some academic performance challenges compared to state averages.
Charles City High School's proficiency rates on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) are consistently lower than the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 58.8% to 66.7% in English Language Arts and 58.8% to 63.9% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 63.3% to 74.9% and 63.3% to 66%, respectively. The school's Science proficiency rate of 42.9% for 10th grade is also significantly lower than the state average of 59.5%.
Despite the relatively high spending per student of $15,516 and a student-to-teacher ratio of 14.4, the school's academic performance suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and identify ways to better support student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school's high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients (46.63%) indicates that a significant portion of the student population faces socioeconomic challenges, which can present additional barriers to academic success.
