Summary:
The Southeast Valley Community School District in Iowa has one elementary school, Dayton Center, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. The school has a total enrollment of 199 students and a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 44.72%.
Dayton Center has shown strong academic performance in 4th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics, with proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate is lower than the district and state averages, indicating a potential area for improvement. The school's per-student spending is $14,497, and it has a low student-teacher ratio of 11:1, suggesting it is well-resourced.
While Dayton Center has demonstrated strengths in certain academic areas, there are opportunities for the school to further enhance the educational experience for all students. Investigating the factors contributing to the lower 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate and exploring how the school's resources are being utilized could help the district develop targeted strategies to address any areas of concern and build on the school's academic successes.
