Summary:

The city of Green Mountain, Iowa, has only one school, GMG Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade. The school is part of the GMG Community School District, which is ranked 277 out of 313 school districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

GMG Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 240 out of 599 Iowa elementary schools in 2015-2016 to 400 out of 576 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally lower than the state averages, except for 5th-grade science, which is higher. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, which could be a contributing factor to its academic performance challenges. Socioeconomic factors may also play a role, as 47.33% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $12,834, the data suggests that GMG Elementary School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic achievement and student engagement. Addressing these issues may require a closer examination of the school's resources, instructional practices, and strategies to support student learning and well-being.
