Summary:

George, Iowa is home to a single middle school, George-Little Rock Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and varying results on standardized tests compared to state averages.

George-Little Rock Middle School has seen its statewide ranking drop from 155th out of 344 Iowa middle schools in 2024-2025 to 265th out of 337 in 2023-2024 and 267th out of 334 in 2022-2023. The school's performance on ISASP tests has also been uneven, with some grades and subjects exceeding state averages while others fall below. The school has a relatively small student population of 67 and a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 43.28% in 2023-2024, suggesting potential socioeconomic challenges.

Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it has a student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1 and per-student spending of $11,496 in 2018-2019, which may indicate effective resource allocation. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in 2023-2024 is a concerning metric that could impact student learning and achievement. Overall, the analysis of George-Little Rock Community School District highlights the need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of the school's strengths and areas for improvement.
