Mid-Prairie Community School District

The Mid-Prairie Community School District in Iowa consists of 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative virtual school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some diversity in the Hispanic student population.

Among the standout schools in the district, the Mid-Prairie Virtual Academy stands out with exceptional test scores, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, where proficiency rates are significantly higher than the district and state averages. The Mid-Prairie Middle School also demonstrates consistently high test scores across grades 5-8 in multiple subjects, often exceeding the district and state performance levels.

While the district generally performs well, there are some areas for potential improvement, such as 7th grade English Language Arts and 10th grade Science, where the schools fall below the state averages. Additionally, the significant variation in spending per student, ranging from $12,362 at the middle school to $16,672 at the high school, suggests the need to further examine resource allocation and funding priorities across the district.
