Summary:
The 50123 zip code area is home to two schools - Mormon Trail Elementary School and Mormon Trail Junior-Senior High School, both part of the Mormon Trail Community School District. Based on the available data, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state-wide averages, with low statewide rankings and proficiency rates on standardized tests.
The elementary school has a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks between 367-459 out of 557-574 Iowa elementary schools over the past 3 years. The high school fares even worse, with a 1 star rating and a ranking between 262-273 out of 320-327 Iowa high schools from 2014-2019. Both schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a relatively low-income student population, and spend more per student than the state average, raising questions about the effective use of resources.
While the schools have low student-teacher ratios, the high school's ratio is higher than the elementary school, potentially indicating staffing challenges at the secondary level. Additionally, the student populations at both schools are overwhelmingly White, with very low representation of other racial/ethnic groups, which may be a concern for the community. Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 50123 zip code area are facing significant challenges in terms of academic achievement and socioeconomic factors, and further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes and develop strategies for improvement.
