Summary:

Eddyville Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Central School District in Eddyville, Iowa, with a student population of 296. The school consistently outperforms the district and the state of Iowa in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects, with 75% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts compared to 71.7% for the district and 64.2% for the state.

Eddyville Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 28.48% to 36.82% over the past three school years, which is lower than nearby schools like Blakesburg Elementary (32.77%) and Fremont Elementary (42.86%), as well as the more distant Horace Mann Elementary School (38.75%) and James Elementary School (63.76%). Additionally, Eddyville Elementary has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.6 to 14.7 over the past three school years.

While Eddyville Elementary outperforms the district and state in academic metrics, it is interesting to note that some nearby schools in the Ottumwa Community School District, such as Eisenhower Elementary School, also demonstrate strong academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just the school district may contribute to a school's success.

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.
