Summary:
The 52316 zip code is home to two schools, English Valleys Junior-Senior High School and English Valleys Elementary School, both part of the English Valleys Community School District. The high school consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, with strong student-teacher ratios and high rankings. The elementary school also demonstrates promising academic results, though its rating has recently declined.
The high school stands out for its consistently high test scores, with the majority of grades scoring above the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Its ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) performance is particularly impressive, with many grade levels scoring over 75% proficient or better. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13:1 may contribute to its academic success, and it is ranked in the top half of Iowa high schools with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While the elementary school also performs well on ISASP tests, with several grade levels scoring above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, it has a slightly higher student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1 compared to the high school. The elementary school's ranking has fluctuated, with a 3-star rating in 2022-2023 that dropped to a 2-star rating in 2023-2024. Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with a significant portion of students from lower-income households, as indicated by the high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients.
