Lewis Central Community School District

The Lewis Central Community School District consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district's schools demonstrate a range of academic performance, with the Lewis Central Senior High School and Lewis Central Middle School standing out as top performers in the district.

The Lewis Central Senior High School consistently achieves high test scores, with students performing above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 34.41%, and is ranked in the top 40% of Iowa high schools. In contrast, the Lewis Central Middle School excels in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with students outperforming the state average, and is ranked in the top 33% of Iowa middle schools.

While the high school and middle school demonstrate strong academic performance, the elementary schools in the district show more variation in their rankings and test scores. This suggests the district may need to closely examine its elementary school programs to ensure a more consistent educational experience across all grade levels. Additionally, the district's relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 34.41% to 40.56%, raise questions about the district's efforts to ensure equitable access to resources and support for all students, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
