Harris-Lake Park Community School District


Summary:

The Harris-Lake Park Community School District consists of two schools: Harris-Lake Park Elementary School and Harris-Lake Park High School. The high school stands out as a strong-performing school, consistently ranking among the top 35-40 high schools in Iowa over the past three school years and earning 4-5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger.

At the high school level, students outperform the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 88.2% of 10th-grade students at the high school were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 73.8%. In contrast, the elementary school's test scores are more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below.

The high school also spends more per student ($14,186) than the elementary school ($12,458) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (10.1) compared to the elementary school (18.2), which may contribute to the high school's strong academic performance. However, the elementary school has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (34.3%) compared to the high school (26.88%), which could indicate potential equity issues or differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of students at the two schools.
