Summary:
English Valleys Community School District is home to a single elementary school, English Valleys Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. Located in rural Iowa, the school has a relatively small student population of 220 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1.
English Valleys Elementary School appears to be a strong-performing school within its district and the state of Iowa. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally higher than the state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grade. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 250th out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 344th out of 557 in 2023-2024, which warrants further investigation.
The school has a moderately high percentage of students (44.55%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a sizable population of economically disadvantaged students. Despite this, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $16,040, which is higher than the state average. This suggests the school is well-resourced and may be effectively supporting the needs of its diverse student population.
