Attendance also varies widely, with Collins Colony Elementary - 06 and Pearl Creek Colony Elementary - 05 reporting 0% chronic absenteeism, while Iroquois Middle School - 02 has a concerning rate of 32.6%.

Overall, the data suggests that the smaller, rural schools in the 57353 zip code area are outperforming the larger, district-run schools, potentially due to factors like smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. However, the Iroquois School District 02-3 as a whole is struggling, with all of its schools ranked in the bottom half of the state. Addressing attendance issues, particularly at Iroquois Middle School - 02, and implementing targeted interventions to improve student outcomes should be priorities for the district.
