Summary:
The North Tama County Community School District in Iowa is home to a single high school, North Tama High School. While the school has some academic strengths, particularly in English Language Arts, it is ranked relatively low among Iowa high schools and has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past few years.
North Tama High School's academic performance is mixed, with higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts but lower performance in Mathematics and Science compared to the state. The school's Mathematics proficiency rates are particularly weak, falling below the state average in several grade levels. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 258 out of 332 in 2021-2022 to 205 out of 338 in the current school year, and its SchoolDigger rating has dropped from 1 star to 2 stars out of 5.
Despite these challenges, North Tama High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.8 to 1, and the district's spending per student was $15,071 in the 2018-2019 school year. The school's demographic makeup includes a high percentage of students from low-income families, with a 40.21% free and reduced-price lunch rate, which may be a factor contributing to its academic performance and overall ranking. Addressing these areas of concern could be a priority for the school and district to improve the educational outcomes for students in the North Tama County Community School District.
