Summary:
The 52205 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school - all part of the Anamosa Community School District. While the district is ranked 244 out of 309 in Iowa and has a 1-star rating, some standout schools emerge from the data.
Anamosa Middle School stands out as the highest-performing school, ranked 197 out of 337 Iowa middle schools with a 2-star rating. It consistently outperforms the state average in 6th and 7th-grade English Language Arts ISASP test scores and has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.8. Strawberry Hill Elementary also shows promise, with relatively high 4th-grade ISASP scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as a lower student-teacher ratio of 13.3.
However, the overall academic performance of the schools, as measured by ISASP test scores, is below the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. Additionally, the schools have a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.04% at Anamosa High School to 45.48% at Strawberry Hill, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. The variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools may also contribute to the differences in academic performance and learning environments.
