Summary:
The Burlington Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Burlington Community High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Iowa high schools over the past three years, indicating significant challenges in meeting state standards.
Burlington Community High School has a four-year graduation rate of 88.3%, which is lower than the state average. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 21.6% - significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all below the state average for 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students. Additionally, over 54% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the district's relatively high spending of $15,640 per student, the school's academic outcomes remain poor. The student-teacher ratio of 17.1 is slightly higher than the state average, which could be impacting the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive. Overall, the data suggests that Burlington Community High School is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, student engagement, and socioeconomic factors, and the district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve outcomes for students.
