Summary:
The Creston Community School District in Iowa has a single middle school, Creston Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has maintained a relatively consistent performance over the past three school years, with its statewide ranking and proficiency rates remaining relatively stable.
Creston Middle School has a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger and its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) are generally on par with or slightly above the state averages. The school has a student population of 283 and a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 59.01% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,414, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year is 10.9, indicating a relatively low student-teacher ratio.
While Creston Middle School's performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state averages, it would be interesting to compare its performance to the overall Creston Community School District to understand how it is performing relative to the district as a whole. The high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could impact student learning and achievement, but the school's resource allocation indicates that it is allocating significant resources to support student learning.
