Elementary Schools in Shenandoah Community School District

The Shenandoah Community School District in Iowa has one elementary school, Shenandoah Elementary School, which serves grades K-4 with a total enrollment of 375 students. This school has consistently performed well, ranking in the top half of Iowa elementary schools in the past three school years, with a ranking of 217 out of 557 schools in the most recent year (2023-2024).

Shenandoah Elementary School's performance on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests is generally above the state average, particularly in 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school has a higher percentage of students proficient or better in ELA and Math compared to the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6 to 1, which could contribute to the individualized attention and support for students.

While the school's student population is predominantly White (90.93%), it does have a notable Hispanic population (6.13%) and a small percentage of students from other racial/ethnic backgrounds. The school's free/reduced lunch rate of 38.93% indicates that a significant portion of the student population comes from lower-income households, which is an important consideration when analyzing the school's academic performance and resource needs. The school's per-student spending of $12,333 (in the 2018-2019 school year) suggests that it has access to adequate resources to support student learning, but more recent data on funding and resource allocation would be helpful to better understand the school's current situation.
