Summary:
The Sioux Center Community School District in Iowa has two elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Kinsey Elementary School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently achieving higher test scores, particularly in math, compared to the district and state averages.
Kinsey Elementary boasts an impressive 83.8% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in math, significantly outpacing the statewide average of 75.3%. The school also demonstrates stronger English Language Arts performance than its counterpart, Sioux Center Intermediate School. Additionally, Kinsey Elementary maintains a higher state ranking, typically placing in the top half of Iowa elementary schools.
While Sioux Center Intermediate School performs closer to the state average, Kinsey Elementary's success may be attributed to factors such as its lower student-teacher ratio of 11.5, compared to 15.5 at Sioux Center Intermediate. The district should further investigate Kinsey Elementary's effective teaching practices and curriculum to identify strategies that could benefit the entire school system.
