Summary:
The Coon Rapids-Bayard Community School District in Iowa has one elementary school, Cr-B Elementary School, which has consistently outperformed the state average in academic assessments and improved its statewide ranking over the past few years.
Cr-B Elementary School is a standout school within the district, with its students scoring significantly higher than the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) tests. The school has moved from the 300th position out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to the 155th position out of 557 schools in 2023-2024, placing it in the top 28% of elementary schools in the state.
Despite having a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (49.12%), indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, Cr-B Elementary School has maintained strong academic performance. This success may be attributed to the district's high spending per student, which was $33,472 for the 2018-2019 school year, as well as the school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.1 to 1.
