Summary

Mid City High is a public high school located in Davenport, Iowa, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 195 students. The school is part of the Davenport Community School District, which is ranked 297 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mid City High consistently ranks among the lowest-performing high schools in Iowa, ranking between 322-337 out of 340 high schools in the state over the past 10 years. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP), is significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 36.4% of 10th-grade students at Mid City High were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 56.6% in the Davenport district and 74.7% statewide. Additionally, Mid City High has struggled with low graduation rates, ranging from 58.5% to 88.3% over the past few years, which is significantly lower than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby high schools within the Davenport Community School District, such as Central High School, West High School, and North High School, also perform poorly compared to the state average, but they generally outperform Mid City High across various metrics. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and the high percentage of students from low-income families at Mid City High may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance and low graduation rates.
