Summary:

The Clarinda Community School District has one elementary school, Garfield Elementary School, which serves students from grades K-6. The school's performance on standardized tests has been mixed, with strengths in mathematics but challenges in English language arts compared to state averages. Garfield Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families, which may require the school to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its student population.

Garfield Elementary School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 301 out of 576 Iowa elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 365 out of 557 in 2023-2024. The school's performance on ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests has been mixed, with some grades exceeding the state average in mathematics but underperforming in English language arts. This suggests a need to focus on improving literacy outcomes at the school.

Despite the challenges, Garfield Elementary School has a student-teacher ratio of 13.5, which is slightly lower than the state average, indicating a more favorable learning environment. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,763, which may not reflect the current financial situation. Overall, the data suggests areas where the school can focus its efforts to improve, such as leveraging its strengths in mathematics to drive improvements in other subject areas and addressing the unique needs of its student population.
