High Schools in Central Community School District


Summary:

The Central Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Central Middle School/High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school's performance is mixed, with some bright spots but also areas of concern compared to state averages.

Central Middle School/High School has a relatively low district ranking, placing 222 out of 313 districts in Iowa and receiving a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores show a mix of performance, with 10th grade English Language Arts proficiency above the state average but several other subject areas and grade levels falling below state averages, particularly in mathematics. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%.

Despite these challenges, the school does have some positive attributes. It spends $13,348 per student, which is higher than the national average, and has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 13.2 to 1. Additionally, the school serves a diverse student population, with 34.16% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Overall, while Central Middle School/High School has room for improvement, it appears to be a small, rural school working to support its students and community.
