Summary:
The Riceville Community School District in Iowa has one elementary school, Riceville Elementary School, which serves students from preschool through 5th grade. The school has a student enrollment of 211 and a student-teacher ratio of 11.9 to 1.
Riceville Elementary School stands out for its exceptional performance in mathematics, with 3rd and 4th-grade students significantly outperforming the state average in the percentage of students proficient or better. However, the school's 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) and science scores are lower than the state averages, indicating potential areas for improvement. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, suggesting that its performance may be inconsistent or influenced by factors beyond just test scores.
With nearly half of the student population receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school may face challenges related to socioeconomic factors that can impact academic achievement. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly White, with very low percentages of other racial/ethnic groups represented. While this lack of diversity may be an area to explore further, it is important not to make any implication that the school's performance is related to its racial makeup.
