Summary:
The Pekin Community Junior/Senior High School is the sole high school serving the Pekin Community School District in Iowa. With an enrollment of 292 students, the school's academic performance varies across grade levels and subject areas, with some strengths in English Language Arts but mixed results in Mathematics and Science compared to state averages.
While the school outperforms the state in certain areas, it has consistently ranked between 177th and 214th out of 332-338 Iowa high schools over the past three years and maintains a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. This may be partly attributed to the school's relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 29.11%, suggesting a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families, which can present additional challenges to academic achievement.
The school's inconsistent academic outcomes and low overall ranking and rating suggest opportunities for the Pekin Community School District to focus on targeted interventions and support to improve student performance, particularly in the areas where the school is underperforming compared to state averages. By addressing these areas of concern, the district can work towards ensuring more equitable and consistent educational outcomes for all students within the Pekin Community Junior/Senior High School.
