Summary:
The West Liberty Community School District in Iowa has only one middle school, West Liberty Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment, but faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance and overall school quality.
West Liberty Middle School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP), is consistently below the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates range from 36.7% to 66.2%, while its Mathematics proficiency rates range from 33.7% to 67.5%, all mostly below the state averages. The school's Science proficiency rates are also lower than the state averages.
The school's low ranking, ranging from 254th out of 337 Iowa middle schools in 2021-2022 to 313th out of 337 in 2023-2024, and its 0 or 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger indicate that it is performing poorly compared to other middle schools in the state. Additionally, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (53.38%) suggests that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the academic struggles and require additional resources and support.
