Summary:
The North Cedar Community School District in Iowa has two elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Based on the available data, the North Cedar Mechanicsville Elementary Center stands out as the higher-performing school in the district.
The Mechanicsville Elementary Center is ranked 160 out of 557 Iowa elementary schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently outperforms the district and state averages on ISASP tests, particularly in 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the Mechanicsville school has a higher student-teacher ratio and spends more per student compared to the North Cedar Lowden Elementary Center.
In contrast, the North Cedar Lowden Elementary Center appears to be the weaker performer of the two schools, with lower rankings, test scores, and student-teacher ratios.
