Summary:
The 52536 zip code area has only one school, Blakesburg Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with 119 students. Blakesburg Elementary is part of the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Central School District, which is ranked 232 out of 309 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating.
Blakesburg Elementary's academic performance, as measured by ISASP test scores, is somewhat inconsistent across grade levels and subject areas. While the school performs well in certain areas, such as 5th and 6th grade English Language Arts and 4th, 5th, and 6th grade mathematics, it struggles in other areas, like 4th grade English Language Arts. Over 32% of Blakesburg Elementary students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be a contributing factor to the school's academic performance.
Blakesburg Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, from 311 out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 392 out of 557 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school may be struggling to keep pace with other elementary schools in the state, and further investigation into the underlying causes would be warranted to address the school's areas for improvement and enhance the educational outcomes for its students.
