Summary:

The Atlantic Community School District in Iowa has a single middle school, Atlantic Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 135th out of 344 Iowa middle schools in 2024-2025 to 175th out of 337 in 2023-2024, with the district itself ranked 186th out of 313 districts in the state.

Despite these ranking changes, Atlantic Middle School has maintained a strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages in most subject areas and grade levels. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 66.7% in 8th grade science to 85.7% in 8th grade mathematics, outperforming the state averages. The school's performance has remained relatively consistent, with proficiency rates staying within a similar range between the 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 school years.

Additionally, Atlantic Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.1, which could be a strength, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the school also has a significant percentage of students (51.15%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
