Ruthven-Ayrshire Community School District

Summary:

The Ruthven-Ayrshire Community School District in Iowa is home to two schools: Ruthven-Ayrshire Elementary School and Ruthven-Ayrshire High School. While the high school has shown impressive performance in English Language Arts, the district faces challenges in math proficiency, particularly at the elementary school level.

Ruthven-Ayrshire High School stands out for its exceptional English Language Arts proficiency, with 100% of 10th-grade students meeting or exceeding state standards in 2023-2024, far surpassing the state average of 73.8%. However, the district's math proficiency rates are a concern, with only 30% of 6th-graders and 60% of 4th-graders at the elementary school proficient or better in math during the same academic year.

Despite these academic disparities, the Ruthven-Ayrshire Community School District has seen some positive progress, as evidenced by the high school's improved statewide ranking from 247 out of 336 Iowa high schools in 2022-2023 to 140 out of 338 in 2023-2024. However, the district still faces socioeconomic challenges, with high free and reduced lunch rates, particularly at the elementary school level, which may be impacting student performance.
