Summary:
Hubbard, Iowa is home to a single middle school, South Hardin Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa middle schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating on the SchoolDigger scale, indicating below-average performance.
Academically, South Hardin Middle School struggles to meet state averages. In English Language Arts, proficiency rates range from 63.5% to 70.8%, compared to the state average of 72.8% to 80.2%. Mathematics performance is mixed, with 6th and 7th graders performing slightly better than the state, but 8th graders falling below. In Science, the school's 8th grade proficiency rate of 62.5% is significantly lower than the state average of 70.5%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, well above the state average.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's challenges, as nearly half (48.45%) of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these difficulties, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and higher per-student spending of $14,746 compared to the state average. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of the school's resource allocation and strategies to support student success within the Hubbard-Radcliffe Community School District.
