Summary:
The Eagle Grove Community School District in Iowa consists of three schools: Eagle Grove Elementary, Eagle Grove High School, and Robert Blue School (middle school). The district faces several challenges, including consistently low academic performance, high poverty levels, and declining statewide rankings across all three schools.
Eagle Grove Elementary and Eagle Grove High School both perform significantly below the state average on state assessments, with proficiency rates often 10-20 percentage points lower than the Iowa average. Robert Blue School (middle school) has mixed performance, with some grade levels and subjects performing better than others. All three schools have a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 61.87% to 66.79%, indicating a high-need student population.
The statewide rankings for all three schools have been declining over the past 3 years, with each school ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in Iowa. This trend suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the district's strategies and practices to improve student outcomes and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
