McKinley Elementary School

Summary:

McKinley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Davenport, Iowa, serving 413 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school stands out for its diverse student population, strong academic performance, and relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to the Davenport Community School District.

McKinley Elementary consistently outperforms the district and the state of Iowa in the percentage of students proficient or better in ISASP English Language Arts and Mathematics assessments. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 68.7% of 3rd graders, 63.8% of 4th graders, 59.7% of 5th graders, and 69.4% of 6th graders at McKinley were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district scores of 47.5%, 57.4%, 52.7%, and 59.9%, respectively. Additionally, McKinley has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.43% to 55.66% over the past three school years, and a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.3 to 13.9.

While McKinley outperforms the district and state, it is interesting to note that some nearby schools in the Bettendorf Community School District, such as Paul Norton Elementary and Riverdale Heights Elementary, significantly outperform McKinley in both test scores and overall school rankings. Additionally, McKinley's statewide ranking has declined over the past several years, suggesting the school may be facing challenges in maintaining or improving its academic performance compared to other schools in the state.

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.
