Woodbury Central Community School District

The Woodbury Central Community School District in Iowa consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The district appears to have a standout performer in Moville Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state and achieves exceptional test scores. In contrast, Woodbury Central High School and Woodbury Central Middle School are more average performers, with respectable but not exceptional rankings and test scores.

Moville Elementary stands out with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and 91.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, far exceeding the state average of 64.2%. The school's student population is also very homogeneous, with 94.03% of students identifying as White. In comparison, the middle and high schools have more diverse student populations, with over 90% of students identifying as White.

The district appears to allocate more resources to its middle and high schools, with higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios compared to the elementary school. However, Woodbury Central Middle School's ranking dropped significantly from 2021-2022 to 2022-2023, going from 29th out of 337 Iowa middle schools to 165th out of 334, which is an area worth investigating further.
