Indianola Community School District


Summary:

The Indianola Community School District consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students in the Indianola area. The district demonstrates a mix of high-performing and average-performing schools, with Irving Elementary School standing out as a top-performing school in the district and the state.

Irving Elementary has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics that significantly exceed the district and state averages. In contrast, Wilder Elementary lags behind the district and state in some grade levels. The middle and high schools in the district, Indianola Middle School and Indianola High School, demonstrate relatively consistent performance, with students performing above the state average in core subjects.

The district's spending per student varies across the schools, with the highest spending at Wilder Elementary and the lowest at Irving Elementary. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as instructional practices, teacher quality, and school leadership, may play a more significant role in driving student outcomes. The district may benefit from further analysis and sharing of best practices across schools to help improve equity and ensure all students are receiving a high-quality education.
