Summary:
The Eagle Grove Community School District has one elementary school, Eagle Grove Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 443 students. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, has consistently fallen below the state averages in Iowa over the past few years.
Eagle Grove Elementary's proficiency rates in the 2024-2025 school year were 54.5% for 3rd grade ELA and 58.5% for 4th grade ELA, compared to the state averages of 67.9% and 76%, respectively. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates were 65.2% for 3rd grade and 69.2% for 4th grade, compared to the state averages of 75.8% and 74.3%. Additionally, the school had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average.
The data also reveals that 55.3% of the students at Eagle Grove Elementary were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. Despite the higher-than-average spending per student ($12,163 in the 2018-2019 school year) and the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, the school's academic performance remains below state standards, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by the school and its students.
