Elementary Schools in Highland Community School District


Summary:

The Highland Community School District in Iowa has only one elementary school, Highland Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has an enrollment of 283 students and a student-teacher ratio of 13.6 to 1.

Highland Elementary School's academic performance is a concern, with test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently falling below the state averages for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 43.8%, compared to the state average of 64.2%. Additionally, the school has been ranked in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools for the past three school years, with a ranking of 472 out of 557 schools in 2023-2024.

While the school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 22% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school's racial makeup is predominantly White (93.29%), which may not be representative of the diversity seen in other parts of the state. The school district and community may need to explore strategies to address these challenges and improve the educational outcomes for the students at Highland Elementary School.
