Summary:
The Graettinger-Terril Community School District operates three schools: Graettinger-Terril Elementary School, Graettinger-Terril High School, and Graettinger-Terril Middle School. The district appears to be underperforming compared to other schools in Iowa, with all three schools receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The schools in the district have relatively small enrollments, ranging from 79 students at the middle school to 147 students at the elementary school. The student population is predominantly white, with limited racial diversity across the three schools. Academically, the schools consistently score below the state average on ISASP tests for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, particularly at the middle school level, suggest the district serves a population with lower socioeconomic status.
Spending per student varies significantly across the three schools, from $13,248 per student at the middle school to $20,099 per student at the high school. The middle school also has a notably higher student-teacher ratio of 16.4, compared to 11.6 at the elementary school and 10.5 at the high school. These disparities in resources and staffing may contribute to the district's overall academic challenges and the need for targeted strategies to improve student outcomes.
