Summary:
The Columbus Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Columbus Community High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has faced some challenges, including a relatively low statewide ranking and mixed academic performance, but also benefits from a small size and low student-teacher ratio.
Columbus Community High School has been ranked between 238 and 257 out of 340 Iowa high schools over the past three school years, with a 2-star and 1-star rating out of 5 on the School Digger scale. The school's four-year graduation rate was 88.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, and its chronic absenteeism rate was 21.6%. While the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts were close to the state average, its 10th-grade math proficiency rate of 63% in the 2024-2025 school year was significantly lower than the state average of 68%.
Additionally, 57.14% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's spending per student was $18,475 in the 2018-2019 school year, which is lower than the national average. However, the school's small size, with a 9.7 student-teacher ratio, may provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support for students.
