Summary:
The Bondurant-Farrar Community School District in Iowa is home to two elementary schools: Morris Elementary and Anderson Elementary School. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade and are part of the larger Bondurant-Farrar Community School District.
While both schools are performing well within the district, Anderson Elementary School stands out for its consistent improvement in statewide rankings, moving from 376th out of 565 Iowa elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 184th out of 576 in 2024-2025. Additionally, Anderson Elementary consistently outperforms the district and the state of Iowa in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for 3rd and 4th-grade students, with 85.7% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 76% statewide.
Both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, an area the district may want to investigate and address. Additionally, Anderson Elementary School has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (20.5%) compared to Morris Elementary (14.71%), suggesting a higher proportion of students from lower-income families. The district should continue to monitor and address these areas to ensure equitable access to resources and support for all students.
