Summary:
The Estherville Lincoln Central Com School District in Iowa has one middle school, Estherville Lincoln Central Middle School, which serves grades 5-8. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain grade levels and subjects, it also faces challenges in terms of academic performance, school ranking, and serving a significant population of economically disadvantaged students.
Estherville Lincoln Central Middle School's academic performance is uneven, with proficiency rates ranging from 42.5% in 5th grade English Language Arts to 85.4% in 8th grade. The school's ranking among Iowa middle schools has fluctuated in recent years, from 172 out of 337 in 2021-2022 to 205 out of 334 in 2022-2023, with a current ranking of 207 out of 337 and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio suggest it has access to adequate resources, but it's unclear how effectively these resources are being utilized to support student learning and achievement.
Despite these challenges, the Estherville Lincoln Central Com School District appears to be making efforts to improve the performance of its lone middle school. Targeted interventions and a focus on addressing the school's uneven academic performance and demographic factors may be necessary to help Estherville Lincoln Central Middle School better serve its student population and improve its overall standing among Iowa middle schools.
