Summary:
The Tipton Community School District has only one elementary school, Tipton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 339 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, its academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades.
Tipton Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, dropping from 317th out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 431st out of 557 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's overall rating by SchoolDigger is 2 out of 5 stars, indicating room for improvement. The school also has a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 36% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Tipton Elementary School maintains a student-teacher ratio of 13.2 to 1, which is a positive factor. However, the school's lack of diversity, with over 91% of students identifying as white, may limit the educational experience and preparation for an increasingly diverse world. The Tipton Community School District may need to address these areas of concern to improve the overall performance and quality of education at Tipton Elementary School.
