Summary:
The city of Iola, Kansas is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual school). Overall, the schools in the Iola school district are performing poorly, with all schools receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger.
Iola Elementary School and Iola Middle School both have 1-star ratings, indicating significant academic challenges. Iola Senior High has seen a declining performance trend, dropping from a 3-star rating to a 1-star rating. The district's proficiency rates on state assessments are consistently below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, which is a major concern.
One bright spot is Iola High School Virtual, which serves a smaller student population and has a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to the other schools in the district. This could indicate an opportunity for the district to explore alternative learning models and reach different student populations. However, the district as a whole faces significant challenges in improving academic performance and providing a high-quality education for all students.
