Summary:
The Fort Madison Community School District in Iowa has one middle school, Fort Madison Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is consistently lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 2 stars to 1 star out of 5.
Fort Madison Middle School has a diverse student population, with 82.45% of students identifying as white, 3.6% as African American, 6.91% as Hispanic, 0.43% as Asian, and 6.47% as two or more races. However, the school's academic performance data does not suggest a correlation between student demographics and academic outcomes. The school's challenges may be more closely tied to factors such as socioeconomic status, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (56.4%).
The school district's spending per student is relatively high at $17,605 for the 2018-2019 school year, but this investment does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's declining ranking and rating suggest the need for a comprehensive review of its instructional practices, resource allocation, and strategies for supporting student success. Addressing these issues may be crucial for improving the academic performance of Fort Madison Middle School and ensuring that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
