Twin Cedars Community School District


Summary:

The Twin Cedars Community School District in Iowa consists of two schools: Twin Cedars Elementary School and Twin Cedars Junior-Senior High School. The district faces several challenges, including low academic performance, with both schools scoring below state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the schools have relatively low statewide rankings, with Twin Cedars Elementary ranked 437 out of 557 Iowa elementary schools and Twin Cedars Junior-Senior High ranked 270 out of 338 Iowa high schools.

The data also reveals that both schools have a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with around 45% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the district may need to allocate more resources to support these students. Interestingly, the high school spends more per student than the elementary school, which may reflect different resource allocation priorities within the district.

Another notable finding is the stark contrast in student-teacher ratios between the elementary and high school, with the high school having a much lower ratio of 9.4 students per teacher compared to the elementary school's 18.6 students per teacher. This difference may contribute to the academic performance gap between the two schools and is an area worth further investigation.
