For example, in 2023-2024, 80.6% of 10th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to the state average of 73.8%. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.2 to 12 over the past three years, which is lower than nearby schools like Osage High School (13.6) and Mason City High School (16.8). However, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly over the years, suggesting inconsistent performance.

The school's spending per student ($15,905 in 2018-2019) is on par with the nearby schools, suggesting that funding levels are not a significant differentiating factor in the school's 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.
