Summary

Rogers Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Marshalltown, Iowa, part of the Marshalltown Community School District. With 245 students enrolled, Rogers Elementary faces significant challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, low test scores, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.

Rogers Elementary has consistently lagged behind the district and state averages in proficiency rates for both English Language Arts and Mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, only 39% of 3rd graders and 47.5% of 4th graders at Rogers were proficient in ELA, compared to 59.4% and 65.7% for the district, and 67.9% and 76% for the state. Additionally, Rogers Elementary has an extremely high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 85.66% to 91.43% over the past few years, much higher than the other Marshalltown schools.

While Rogers Elementary spends significantly more per student than the other Marshalltown schools, it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools, with a 0 or 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, nearby schools like J.C. Hoglan Elementary and Anson Elementary have higher 2-star ratings. The performance gap becomes even more pronounced when comparing Rogers Elementary to schools outside the Marshalltown district, such as West Marshall Elementary and BCLUW Elementary, which have significantly higher test scores and lower free/reduced lunch rates.
