Summary:
The West Monona Community School District in Iowa has one middle school, West Monona Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has consistently strong academic performance, with test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics exceeding the state averages across all grade levels.
West Monona Middle School is a standout school in several areas. Its 8th-grade ELA proficiency rate of 86.7% in 2023-2024 was significantly higher than the state average of 77.5%. The school has also previously ranked much higher in the state, reaching 99 out of 337 Iowa middle schools in 2021-2022 and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school's current statewide ranking has dropped to 195 out of 337, indicating potential fluctuations in its relative performance.
While the school has a predominantly White student population (87.62%), it also has notable percentages of Native American (4.76%) and multiracial (6.67%) students. The school district spends $13,096 per student, and the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.1 to 1. However, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (42.86%) suggests the need to address potential socioeconomic disparities and ensure equitable access to educational resources and opportunities.
