Elementary Schools in Calamus-Wheatland Community School District

Summary:

The Calamus-Wheatland Community School District has one elementary school, Calamus-Wheatland Elementary Attendance Center, which serves grades PK-6 and has an enrollment of 218 students. The school has demonstrated strong academic performance, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally exceeding state-level averages. However, the school's ranking within the state has fluctuated over the past few years, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is higher than the state average.

Calamus-Wheatland Elementary Attendance Center ranked 292 out of 576 Iowa elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year and was rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 193 out of 557 Iowa elementary schools and was rated 3 out of 5 stars. The school's proficiency rates in ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) were generally strong, with 71.9% for 3rd grade English Language Arts, 81.3% for 3rd grade Mathematics, and 56.7% for 5th grade Science.

The school serves a population with relatively high economic need, with over 37% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school district's spending of $12,879 per student suggests that resources are being allocated efficiently to support student learning. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3 to 1, which may contribute to its academic performance.
