Summary:

The city of Moravia, Iowa is home to two schools: Moravia High School and Moravia Elementary School, both part of the Moravia Community School District. While Moravia High School has struggled in recent years, ranking in the bottom half of Iowa high schools, Moravia Elementary has consistently performed better, ranking in the top half of Iowa elementary schools.

Moravia Elementary School appears to be the standout school in the data set. The elementary school has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong performance in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In contrast, Moravia High School has a 1-star rating and has struggled, ranking 248 out of 340 Iowa high schools in 2024-2025. The high school has a lower four-year graduation rate and higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the elementary school.

Both schools face challenges related to student demographics, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The higher student-teacher ratio at the high school may also be a contributing factor to its weaker performance. While Moravia Elementary School has seen a decline in its state-wide ranking in recent years, it still outperforms the high school across several key metrics, suggesting the elementary school may be providing a stronger educational foundation for its students.
