Johnston Community School District

The Johnston Community School District in Iowa is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several schools ranking among the top in the state.

Two standout schools in the district are Henry A. Wallace Elementary School and Summit Middle School. Henry A. Wallace Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Iowa, with exceptional test scores and a low free/reduced lunch rate. Summit Middle School is also highly ranked, with strong test scores and a low student-teacher ratio.

While the district overall performs well above the state average on standardized tests, there is some variation in performance and student demographics across the schools. Some schools, such as Timber Ridge Elementary and Horizon Elementary, have higher free/reduced lunch rates and may warrant further investigation into potential equity concerns. The district's spending per student and student-teacher ratios also vary, suggesting differences in resource allocation across the schools.
