Howard-Winneshiek Community School District


Summary:

The Howard-Winneshiek Community School District in Iowa is home to two schools: Crestwood High School and Crestwood Elementary School. Based on the available data, Crestwood High School appears to be a standout performer within the district, consistently exceeding state averages on standardized test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.

Crestwood High School's 10th and 11th grade students scored significantly higher than the state averages on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) exams, with proficiency rates reaching as high as 79.8% in ELA and 76.5% in Mathematics. The school's Science proficiency rates also surpassed the state's, with 10th graders scoring 66.3% proficient or better compared to the state's 59.5%. These strong academic results suggest Crestwood High School is effectively supporting student learning and achievement.

While the schools in the district have a predominantly White student population, they do exhibit some racial diversity, with Hispanic and multiracial students making up a small but notable percentage of the student body. Additionally, the higher free and reduced lunch rate at Crestwood Elementary School compared to the high school may indicate a greater concentration of students from lower-income households at the elementary level, which could be an area for further investigation. The district's resource allocation, with Crestwood High School spending $16,120 per student compared to $15,154 per student at the elementary school, and the lower student-teacher ratio at the elementary level, may also contribute to the observed academic performance differences between the two schools.
