Eagle Grove High School

Summary:

Eagle Grove High School is a public high school serving 299 students in grades 9-12 in Eagle Grove, Iowa, which is part of the Eagle Grove Community School District. The school has a diverse student population, with 60.54% White, 35.12% Hispanic, and 4.01% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics.

Eagle Grove High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were all lower than the state averages in the 2023-2024 school year, with the largest gaps in Mathematics. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 61.87%, which is significantly higher than the nearby Belmond-Klemme Community School District (48.78%) and Humboldt Community School District (36.49%).

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.
