Summary

Kluckhohn Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Le Mars, Iowa, serving 425 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Le Mars Community School District, which is ranked 133 out of 313 districts in the state.

Kluckhohn Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates were 79% in ELA and 79% in Math, compared to the state averages of 67.9% and 75.8%, respectively. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.7% in 2021-2022 to 21.6% in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average and the other nearby schools in the Le Mars district. Kluckhohn Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 29.98% to 34.85% over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby Franklin Elementary and Clark Elementary schools.

Overall, Kluckhohn Elementary School appears to be a strong-performing elementary school within the Le Mars Community School District, with a focus on academic achievement. However, the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate is a concern that should be addressed to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
