Summary:
The West Central Community School District in Iowa has only one elementary school, West Central PK - 8 School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools, indicating it may be struggling to meet the academic needs of its students.
West Central PK - 8 School's performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to state averages. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are below the state average in most grade levels. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are above the state average in some grade levels, but below in others. In Science, the school's proficiency rates are below the state average in both 5th and 8th grades. The school's per-student spending is above the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggesting that resources may not be translating into strong academic outcomes.
While the school has a predominantly white student population, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch may be a contributing factor to its academic performance. The data indicates that West Central PK - 8 School is facing challenges in terms of academic performance and may benefit from a closer examination of its instructional practices, curriculum, and resource allocation to better support the needs of its students.
