Summary:
The Durant Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Durant Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa high schools, with a 1-star rating on the SchoolDigger scale.
Durant Junior/Senior High School's performance is generally lower than the state averages in key metrics. The school's four-year graduation rate is slightly below the state average at 88.3%, and its chronic absenteeism rate is higher at 21.6%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are all lower than the state averages, particularly in 11th grade English Language Arts (52% vs. 69.3%) and 10th and 11th grade Mathematics (63.3% and 64% vs. 68% and 65.6%, respectively).
The school's student-teacher ratio of 14:1 is slightly lower than the state average, and its per-student spending of $12,873 is slightly higher than the state average. However, the school's higher-than-average free and reduced-price lunch rate of 26.55% suggests that it serves a population with a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the school's lower academic performance. Addressing these academic gaps and equity concerns could be key areas for improvement for the school and the district.
