Summary:
The Eagle Grove Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Eagle Grove High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa high schools for the past three years, with rankings between 286 and 305 out of 336-340 schools statewide.
Eagle Grove High School's performance is concerning in several areas. Its four-year graduation rate of 88.3% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is significantly higher than the state average. The school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages for 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students. Additionally, a high percentage of students (57.76%) are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges.
Despite the school's lower performance, it spends more per student ($15,716) than the state average, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the need to explore ways to improve educational outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.4 is slightly higher than the state average, which may also be a factor in its academic challenges. Overall, the data suggests that Eagle Grove High School is facing significant hurdles in terms of student achievement and engagement, and the district may need to implement targeted interventions to address these issues.
