East Mills Community School District


Summary:

The East Mills Community School District consists of two schools: East Mills Elementary School and East Mills Junior/Senior High School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in a rural area.

East Mills Junior/Senior High School stands out as a top-performing institution, consistently ranking among the best schools in the state with a 5-star rating in 2021-2022. The high school's test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, are significantly above the state averages, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 may contribute to its academic success. In contrast, East Mills Elementary School has shown strong performance in mathematics, with students scoring above the state averages in the ISASP assessments, but the school's spending per student ($13,482) is lower than the high school's ($17,336).

While both schools generally perform above the state averages in various assessments, the data suggests potential equity concerns at the elementary school level. The higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at the elementary school (51.72%) may indicate the need for additional resources or targeted interventions to support these students. Understanding the schools' best practices and strategies, as well as addressing any disparities in funding and resources, could provide valuable insights for the district and potentially benefit other schools in the area.
