Summary:

The Clarke Community School District in Iowa consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is performing poorly compared to the state, ranking 302 out of 313 districts in Iowa and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Clarke Community High School appears to be the strongest performing school in the district, with the highest test scores across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the elementary and middle schools. The high school also has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.3%. Clarke Community Middle School also shows some promising performance, with test scores that are generally higher than the elementary school, especially in 8th grade.

However, the district faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools, around 21-22%, well above the state average. Additionally, the schools have high percentages of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, ranging from 53-61%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the district. Addressing these issues, as well as the overall low performance of the district, will be crucial for improving outcomes and providing a high-quality education for all students.
