Summary:
The United Community School District in Iowa has only one elementary school, United Community School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping significantly and its overall rating decreasing from 4 stars to 1 star out of 5.
While United Community School's student population is predominantly white, the school serves a relatively diverse student body, with small percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Asian students. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally below the state average, with some exceptions, such as above-average 5th grade ELA scores and 4th grade ELA scores. However, the school's 5th grade Science scores are below the state average.
The school's economic factors may be contributing to its academic challenges, as 22.44% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, the school district spends more per student than the state average, suggesting that funding alone may not be the sole factor in the school's performance. The school's student-teacher ratio is slightly lower than the state average, which could be a positive factor in supporting student learning.
