Summary:
The city of Saint Ansgar, Iowa is home to three high-performing schools that serve students from elementary through high school: St Ansgar Elementary School, St Ansgar High School, and St Ansgar Middle School. These schools are part of the St Ansgar Community School District, which is ranked 10th out of 313 districts in the state and has earned a 5-star rating.
Based on the data, St Ansgar Elementary School stands out as a top performer, consistently ranking among the top 25 elementary schools in Iowa and earning a 5-star rating. The school's test scores are significantly higher than the state averages, with 88.9% or more of 3rd-5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 82% or more proficient or better in Mathematics. St Ansgar High School and St Ansgar Middle School are also high-performing, ranking among the top 30 high schools and top 60 middle schools in Iowa, respectively, and earning 5-star ratings.
Across all three schools, the data shows impressive test scores, with students performing significantly better than the state averages, particularly in Mathematics. The schools also have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their strong academic performance. However, the district could potentially address the higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate and examine the funding allocation across the schools to ensure equity and continued excellence.
