Summary

McKinley Elementary School is a public elementary school in Davenport, Iowa, serving 517 students in grades K-6 as part of the Davenport Community School District.

McKinley Elementary consistently outperforms the Davenport district and the state of Iowa in standardized test scores, with 69% of 3rd-graders proficient in English Language Arts compared to 52% for the district and 67.9% for the state, and 68.8% of 4th-graders proficient in Math compared to 58.3% for the district and 74.3% for the state. However, the school faces challenges with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.6% to 42.5% and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 48.43% to 52.22%. These factors may contribute to the school's academic performance.

Compared to other schools in the Davenport district, such as Jefferson Elementary and Madison Elementary, McKinley Elementary is a stronger performer. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Bettendorf Community School District, like Paul Norton Elementary and Grant Wood Elementary, the performance gap becomes more pronounced, suggesting opportunities for McKinley Elementary to improve further.
