Knoxville Community School District

Summary:

The Knoxville Community School District in Iowa consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant portion of economically disadvantaged families.

Knoxville High School stands out as the strongest performer in the district, with above-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state. The school has also improved its statewide ranking, moving from 260 out of 332 in 2021-2022 to 192 out of 338 in 2023-2024. In contrast, West Elementary and Northstar Elementary have consistently low statewide rankings and proficiency rates below the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Knoxville Middle School outperforms the state average in English Language Arts proficiency and maintains a relatively high Mathematics proficiency rate for 8th-grade students. However, the district as a whole faces challenges, with high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools, indicating a need to address the academic needs of economically disadvantaged students.
