Davis County Community High School

Summary:

Davis County Community High School is a public high school in Bloomfield, Iowa, serving 408 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Davis County Community School District, which is ranked 278 out of 309 school districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Davis County Community High School's performance on ISASP tests is generally below the state average across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 10th-grade proficiency rates were 72.8% in English Language Arts, 65.6% in Mathematics, and 54.3% in Science, compared to the state averages of 73.8%, 66%, and 59.5%, respectively. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa high schools, with a ranking of 256 out of 338 schools in the 2023-2024 school year. However, when compared to nearby high schools like Gateway High School and Ottumwa High School, Davis County Community High School generally performs better academically.

One notable factor about Davis County Community High School is its relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 38.48% in the 2022-2023 school year. This suggests that the school may be serving a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can impact academic outcomes. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.5 students per teacher, which could be leveraged to provide more personalized attention and support for students. Despite the challenges, there are opportunities for improvement, and the school could explore strategies to address the academic performance gaps and work to improve its statewide ranking.

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.
