Summary:
The South Tama County school district in Iowa consists of three schools: South Tama County Elementary School, South Tama County High School, and South Tama County Middle School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and reflect the diverse demographics of the region.
Among the standout schools, South Tama County Elementary School outperforms the county and state averages in 4th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.5. South Tama County High School, on the other hand, performs better than the county average in 9th grade English Language Arts proficiency and has the highest spending per student at $16,283 among the three schools.
Across the district, the schools have a significant percentage of minority students, particularly Hispanic and Native American, which is higher than the state averages. While the schools generally perform below the state averages in proficiency rates, the data suggests that the district faces socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Further analysis and targeted interventions could help address these challenges and leverage the district's strengths to enhance educational outcomes for all students.
