Summary:

The Algona Community School District in Iowa is home to three elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 4th grade. Based on the available data, Lucia Wallace Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, earning a 4-star rating and ranking 76th out of 565 Iowa elementary schools.

Lucia Wallace Elementary boasts the highest statewide rankings, the lowest chronic absenteeism rate, and the lowest student-teacher ratio among the three schools. Additionally, it has the lowest free and reduced lunch rate at 36.5%, suggesting a relatively lower percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Academically, Lucia Wallace outperforms the district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th-grade students.

In contrast, the other two schools, Bertha Godfrey Elementary and Bryant Elementary, have lower statewide rankings, 3-star ratings, and higher chronic absenteeism rates. Bertha Godfrey Elementary has the highest spending per student at $17,276, while Lucia Wallace has the lowest at $12,938. These variations in funding and performance suggest the district may need to examine its resource allocation and identify strategies to replicate the success of Lucia Wallace across all its schools.
