Pocahontas Area Community School District


Summary:

The Pocahontas Area Community School District in Iowa operates three schools: Pocahontas Area Middle/High School, Pocahontas Area Elementary School, and Pocahontas Area Regional Learning Center. The district as a whole is ranked 227 out of 309 districts in Iowa and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting room for improvement.

Among the standout schools, Pocahontas Area Elementary School performed well on ISASP tests, with 86% of 6th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 82% of 6th graders proficient or better in Mathematics. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1. Pocahontas Area Middle/High School also performed better than the district and state averages on several ISASP tests, with 79.2% of 9th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 74.2% of 8th graders proficient or better in Mathematics.

However, the Pocahontas Area Regional Learning Center, an alternative high school, has a very high student-teacher ratio of 52.5 to 1, which is significantly higher than the other two schools in the district. This could indicate a need for more resources and support for this school. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates (over 50%) across all three schools suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require additional support and resources to ensure their academic success.
