Summary:

The city of Parkersburg, Iowa is home to a single elementary school, Parkersburg Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. Located within the Aplington-Parkersburg Community School District, the school has consistently performed well, ranking in the top 30% of all Iowa elementary schools over the past three years.

Parkersburg Elementary School has maintained a strong 4-out-of-5 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its overall academic performance is above average. The school's per-student spending of $13,115 is higher than the national average, which may contribute to its small class sizes and resources available to students. However, the school faces some challenges, with a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% - higher than the state average - and a relatively high percentage of students (36.45%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting economic needs among the student population.

Despite these challenges, Parkersburg Elementary School's consistent high performance, as evidenced by its statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating, suggests it is providing a quality education to the students of Parkersburg. The school's small class sizes and above-average per-student spending may be contributing factors to its success, though addressing chronic absenteeism and supporting economically disadvantaged students could be areas for further improvement.
