Summary:
The West Iron County Public Schools district has only one elementary school, Stambaugh Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-5. Located in the West Iron County area, Stambaugh Elementary has faced some academic challenges in recent years, with its performance on state assessments declining and its overall rating dropping from 3 stars to 2 stars on the SchoolDigger scale.
Stambaugh Elementary has a student enrollment of 377, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (85.15%) and a high percentage of students (74.54%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic need among the student population. The school's academic performance on M-STEP tests is mixed, with 3rd-grade students performing above the state average in ELA and Math, but 4th and 5th-grade students falling below the state average in multiple subjects.
Despite the school's above-average per-student spending of $13,356 and a student-teacher ratio of 17.5, which is slightly higher than the recommended ratio, Stambaugh Elementary continues to face challenges in maintaining strong academic outcomes. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 27.0% may be a contributing factor to its declining performance, and the district and school leaders will need to identify and address the root causes of these issues to help improve the educational experience for the students at Stambaugh Elementary.
