Summary:
The Adair-Casey Community School District in Iowa is home to a single middle school, Adair-Casey Junior High School, which serves grades 7-8. This small school district is located in a rural area and has a strong focus on academic excellence.
Adair-Casey Junior High School stands out as a high-performing middle school, with consistently above-average test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 8th-grade proficiency rates were particularly impressive, with 90% in ELA and 92.5% in Math, significantly outperforming the state averages. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 and relatively high spending per student of $15,173 (in 2018-2019) suggest a strong investment in resources and support for students, which may be contributing to the school's academic success.
While the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in 2023-2024 was slightly higher than the state average, the school's small enrollment of 84 students likely fosters a more personalized and supportive learning environment. The school's ranking on the SchoolDigger scale has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 68th out of 337 Iowa middle schools in 2023-2024 to 134th out of 344 in 2024-2025, indicating that the school's performance may be influenced by factors beyond just test scores.
