Summary:
The Durant Community School District in Iowa has only one elementary school, Durant Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 109th out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 326th out of 557 in 2023-2024.
Durant Elementary School's academic performance has been uneven, with some grade levels and subject areas outperforming the state averages, while others fall short. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of 4th-grade students outperforming the state average in ELA and 3rd-grade students outperforming the state average in Mathematics. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average, but it has a relatively high percentage of students (28.86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be a factor in the school's academic challenges.
Overall, the analysis of the data for Durant Elementary School reveals both positive and concerning trends. The school's declining statewide ranking and uneven academic performance suggest that the school district may need to implement targeted strategies to address these challenges and improve student outcomes. Understanding the underlying factors contributing to these trends could help the school district identify areas for improvement and develop effective interventions to support student success.
