Adair-Casey Elementary has generally performed well on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP), with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics above the state average for most grade levels in the 2023-2024 school year. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 and spends $14,264 per student, which is higher than the nearby schools. However, the school's racial makeup is predominantly white, with 83.33% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the state average and the nearby schools. Additionally, Adair-Casey Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, with 51.79% of students qualifying in the 2022-2023 school year, which is higher than the nearby schools.

Compared to the nearby schools, Adair-Casey Elementary's performance has been somewhat inconsistent, with the school ranking between 184 and 413 out of 567-616 Iowa elementary schools from 2013-2014 to 2021-2022. This suggests that the school's performance has fluctuated over the years. The higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the school's racial makeup may present some challenges that the school and district will need to address, but the school's focus on providing individualized attention and support to its students, as evidenced by the low student-teacher ratio, may contribute to its relatively strong test scores.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
