High Schools in Atlantic Community School District

Summary:

The Atlantic Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Atlantic High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has maintained a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 199 out of 340 Iowa high schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a four-year graduation rate slightly below the state average.

Atlantic High School's academic performance is generally on par or slightly above the state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but slightly below in Science. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern. Additionally, the school has a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 44.84%, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from low-income families.

Overall, Atlantic High School appears to provide a stable academic environment, but there are opportunities for improvement, particularly in addressing the school's higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate and strengthening its science curriculum and instruction. The school's demographics and socioeconomic factors may also require targeted strategies to support student success.
