Summary:
The Iowa Falls Community School District consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students in the Iowa Falls area. The district's schools show a mix of performance, with Rock Run Elementary and Riverbend Middle School standing out as top-performing schools in the district.
Rock Run Elementary is ranked 132 out of 557 Iowa elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, with consistently high test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics. In contrast, the district's test scores generally lag behind the state averages, particularly in Mathematics. However, Riverbend Middle School also stands out, ranking 93 out of 337 Iowa middle schools with a 4-star rating and strong performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The district's schools serve a predominantly white student population, with Hispanic students making up the next largest racial group. The free/reduced lunch rates across the schools range from 34.71% to 42.52%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. While the district's spending per student varies, the data suggests that simply spending more may not be the sole driver of academic success, and other factors such as teaching quality, curriculum, and resource allocation may play a more significant role.
