Summary:

The Central Decatur Middle School/High School High School is the sole high school serving grades 7-12 in the Central Decatur Community School District in Iowa. The school has faced fluctuating performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 225th to 250th out of Iowa high schools and its SchoolDigger rating varying between 1 and 2 stars out of 5.

Academically, the school has shown mixed results, performing above the state average in English Language Arts but below the state average in Mathematics on ISASP tests. The school's four-year graduation rate was 88.3% in 2023-2024, while its chronic absenteeism rate was 21.6%.

Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending of $15,573 and student-teacher ratio of 16.6 in 2023-2024 suggest efforts to provide additional support and resources to address the needs of the student population.
