Linn-Mar Community School District

Summary:

The Linn-Mar Community School District in Iowa consists of 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 88 out of 309 school districts in Iowa and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, Echo Hill Elementary and Westfield Elementary School stand out as the highest-performing elementary schools, ranking 18th and 31st out of 557 elementary schools in Iowa, respectively. These schools consistently outperform the district and state averages on ISASP test scores, with over 85% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. At the middle school level, Excelsior Middle School and Oak Ridge Middle School are the top-performing, ranking 62nd and 72nd out of 337 middle schools in Iowa.

The district exhibits a wide range of performance among its individual schools, with the highest-performing schools being among the best in the state and the lower-performing schools struggling to meet state averages. Socioeconomic factors, such as free/reduced lunch rates, appear to play a significant role in student outcomes, though the district's strong middle school performance suggests that the solid foundation laid in the earlier grades is translating to success in the later grades.
