Summary:

The Collins-Maxwell Community School District is home to one standout elementary school, Collins-Maxwell Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 189 students. This school has consistently demonstrated exceptional academic performance, often outperforming the state average on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests.

Collins-Maxwell Elementary School's academic excellence is evident in its high proficiency rates, with 97% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 90.9% proficient or better in Mathematics during the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance has steadily improved over the past few years, with its statewide ranking increasing from 229 out of 565 Iowa elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 74 out of 576 in 2024-2025, earning it a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This improvement can be attributed to the school's low student-teacher ratio of 10.6, which may contribute to its strong academic outcomes.

Despite the school's high percentage of students (47.62%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, Collins-Maxwell Elementary School continues to excel. The school's relatively high spending per student, at $14,450 for the 2018-2019 school year, suggests that the district is allocating sufficient resources to support the school's educational programs and initiatives, which may be a contributing factor to its academic success.
