Summary:
The city of Adair, Iowa is home to two standout schools, Adair-Casey Elementary School and Adair-Casey Junior High School, both part of the Adair-Casey Community School District. These schools have consistently high academic performance, with the majority of students scoring proficient or better on state assessments in core subjects.
Adair-Casey Elementary School is ranked 139 out of 576 Iowa elementary schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 and a diverse student population, with 52.8% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. In contrast, Adair-Casey Junior High School is ranked 68 out of 337 Iowa middle schools and has a 4-star rating. The junior high school has an even lower student-teacher ratio of 9.9:1 and a moderate percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 39.29%.
While both schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, their statewide rankings have declined in recent years, from 259 to 139 for the elementary school and 68 to 134 for the junior high school. Additionally, both schools face a concerning issue of high chronic absenteeism, with 21.6% of students missing a significant number of school days. These factors warrant further investigation and potential improvement efforts by the Adair-Casey Community School District to ensure the continued success of these standout schools.
