Summary:

The city of Conrad, Iowa is home to a single high school, BCLUW High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 and is part of the BCLUW Community School District. This standout institution is ranked 39th out of 340 Iowa high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, placing it in the top 12% of schools statewide, and has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past two school years, indicating strong overall performance.

BCLUW High School consistently outperforms the state average on ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In 2024-2025, 87.5% of 9th-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 65.6% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.3% in 2023-2024 was slightly above the state average, and it had a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 in the same year.

While the school serves a population with some economic challenges, as indicated by the 27.91% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, its strong academic performance and supportive learning environment suggest that it is effectively supporting these students and helping them succeed. The school's higher-than-average spending of $15,194 per student in 2018-2019 may contribute to its positive outcomes, though the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in 2023-2024 is an area that could use improvement.
