Rogers Elementary School

Summary:

Rogers Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 251 students in grades PK-4 in Marshalltown, Iowa, which is part of the Marshalltown Community School District. The school faces significant challenges, including consistently underperforming academically compared to the district and state averages, and being ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Iowa.

Rogers Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 75.31% to 88.54% over the past three years, which is much higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school's academic performance in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across grades 3 and 4 is consistently lower than the Marshalltown Community School District and the state of Iowa. For example, in 2023-2024, only 31.1% of 3rd graders at Rogers were proficient in ELA, compared to 50.2% for the district and 64.2% for the state.

Despite the challenges, Rogers Elementary has been ranked in the bottom 20% of Iowa elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking between 480 and 560 out of 557-616 schools. This places it among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state, and the trend has been declining over the past decade. The school's unique challenges and underperformance compared to nearby schools suggest that targeted interventions and additional resources may be necessary to support the students and improve academic outcomes.

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.
