Summary:
The Exira-Elk Horn- Kimballton Community School District operates two schools: Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton Elementary and ExiraElk Horn-Kimballton High School. The district serves students in the Exira, Elk Horn, and Kimballton communities in Iowa.
Based on the data, the standout school in the district is ExiraElk Horn-Kimballton High School, which has consistently outperformed state averages on standardized assessments in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The high school has seen improvements in its statewide ranking, moving from 184th out of 336 Iowa high schools in 2022-2023 to 107th out of 338 in 2023-2024, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton Elementary has not demonstrated the same level of academic excellence, though it still serves the community well.
Both schools in the district have a significant proportion of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a diverse socioeconomic population. The high school spends more per student than the elementary school, which may suggest the district is allocating resources effectively to support the specific needs and programs at the secondary level. Additionally, the low student-teacher ratios at both schools, particularly the high school, suggest the district is able to provide a more personalized learning environment for its students.
