While Walcott Intermediate's academic performance is strong, it is important to note that the Davenport Community School District as a whole is ranked 298 out of 309 in Iowa and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. This suggests that the district may face broader challenges that impact the performance of all its schools, including Walcott Intermediate. Additionally, the lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Walcott Intermediate compared to other schools in the district may indicate a more affluent student population, which could contribute to the school's stronger academic performance.

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.
