Summary:
The South O'Brien Community School District in Iowa has one elementary school, South O'Brien Elementary School Primghar Center, which serves students from prekindergarten through 6th grade. The school's performance data suggests it is a relatively strong-performing institution within the district and the state of Iowa.
South O'Brien Elementary School Primghar Center is ranked 313 out of 576 Iowa elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, placing it in the top half of the state. The school's performance on ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests is generally above the state average, with several grade levels scoring significantly higher than the Iowa average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate of 67.4% in 2024-2025 is higher than the state average of 64.2%.
While the school's overall performance is commendable, the data suggests some areas for potential improvement. For example, the 4th grade Mathematics proficiency rate of 50% in 2024-2025 is significantly lower than the state average of 74.3%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in 2023-2024 is relatively high and could be an area of focus for the district. The school's high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (39.24%) also suggests that it serves a population with relatively lower socioeconomic status, which could be an important consideration when analyzing the school's performance and identifying potential areas for support or intervention.
