Summary:
The Carroll Community School District in Iowa has only one middle school, Carroll Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 110th out of 334 Iowa middle schools in 2022-2023 to 225th out of 344 in 2024-2025. Its performance rating has also decreased from 3 stars out of 5 to 2 stars during this time period.
Academically, Carroll Middle School generally performs above the state average in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics, except for 5th grade ELA and Mathematics, where the school's scores are below the state average. The school's Science proficiency scores are also below the state average for both 5th and 8th grades. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 39.69% in the 2023-2024 school year, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.7 is slightly higher than the state average.
While Carroll Middle School has seen a decline in its performance, it is the only middle school in the Carroll Community School District, so there are no other schools to directly compare it to within the district. However, the school's performance can be compared to state-level averages in Iowa, which suggests that the school may need to focus on improving instruction and support in specific subject areas, such as 5th grade ELA and Mathematics, as well as Science for both 5th and 8th grades.
