Hamburg Community School District

The Hamburg Community School District in Iowa consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals that Marnie Simons Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the top 25% of Iowa elementary schools and outperforming the state average on several key tests. In contrast, Hamburg Middle School has maintained a consistent 2-star rating, while Hamburg Charter High Schools has the lowest rating and underperforms the state average on several assessments.

Marnie Simons Elementary School's strong performance is evident in its 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and its students' high proficiency rates on the ISASP tests, particularly in 4th grade English Language Arts and 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade Mathematics. The school also boasts a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11:1. In contrast, Hamburg Middle School's ISASP scores in Mathematics and Science for 8th grade are below the state averages, which could be an area for improvement.

The data also reveals that the schools in the Hamburg Community School District serve a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients ranging from 65.71% to 70%. This suggests that the district may face unique challenges and require targeted support to ensure equitable and high-quality education for all students. Additionally, the significant variation in student-teacher ratios across the schools, from 11:1 at the elementary level to 87.5:1 at the high school, could indicate differences in resource allocation and staffing priorities within the district.
