Summary:
The Alta-Aurelia Community School District in Iowa has a single high school, Alta-Aurelia High School, which serves 199 students. The school's academic performance is generally strong, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics exceeding state averages, particularly in 9th and 10th grades. However, the school's 11th grade ELA and 10th grade Science proficiency rates are lower than the state averages.
Alta-Aurelia High School's four-year graduation rate of 88.3% is slightly below the state average, and the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, which may be a contributing factor to the lower academic performance in certain areas. The school serves a population with a 39.7% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a lower socioeconomic status, which can impact academic outcomes. Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $16,446 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 suggest a strong focus on providing resources and individualized support for students.
Overall, Alta-Aurelia High School appears to be performing reasonably well, with some areas of strength and some areas for potential improvement. The school's commitment to supporting student success is evident in its resource allocation and instructional approach, but addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate and targeted interventions in specific subject areas could further enhance the school's academic outcomes.
