Best Public Schools in Zip Code 50659

Summary:

The 50659 zip code area is home to three schools - New Hampton Elementary School, New Hampton High School, and New Hampton Middle School - all part of the New Hampton Community School District. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and demonstrate a consistent pattern of strong academic performance.

Among the three schools, New Hampton High School stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of Iowa high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly above the state averages, with 85.1% of 10th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 84.4% of 11th graders proficient or better in Mathematics.

While the schools serve student populations that are predominantly white, with moderate levels of economic disadvantage, they all demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence. The consistent performance across grade levels and the relatively small class sizes suggest a strong educational system that is effectively serving the community. However, there may be opportunities for improvement in a few specific areas, such as 5th grade English Language Arts and 5th grade Science at the middle school.
