Summary:
The Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Community School District in Iowa has one high school, Clarion-Goldfield-Dows High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high graduation rate, it is ranked in the bottom half of Iowa high schools and has seen a decline in its performance over the past few years.
Clarion-Goldfield-Dows High School has an 88.3% four-year graduation rate, which is slightly above the state average. However, the school has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, which can negatively impact academic achievement. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions, such as a 75.4% 10th grade Math proficiency rate, which is higher than the state average of 68%.
The school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 48.32% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student of $16,263, the school's academic performance does not appear to be commensurate with the level of funding, suggesting that there may be opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation. Overall, Clarion-Goldfield-Dows High School is a relatively average-performing school in the state of Iowa, with some areas of concern that may require further attention and improvement.
