Summary

Davis County Community High School is a public high school in Bloomfield, Iowa, serving 374 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Davis County Community School District, which is ranked 260 out of 313 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's four-year graduation rates have fluctuated between 87.5% and 97.1% in recent years, generally on par with or slightly higher than the state average. However, its academic performance has been mixed, with 10th-grade students performing better than the state average in English Language Arts but lower in Mathematics and Science. The school has also experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 15.6% to 23.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, Ottumwa High School and Cardinal High School generally outperform Davis County Community High School in terms of test scores and other metrics. The district also offers a virtual school option, DC Online, which serves grades 6-12 and has a similar chronic absenteeism rate to the main high school. Despite these challenges, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which is generally favorable for student learning.
