Summary:

The Earlham Community School District in Iowa consists of three schools: Earlham Elementary School, Earlham Senior High School, and Earlham Middle School. The data shows that Earlham Elementary School is the standout performer in the district, with consistently high test scores, a top statewide ranking, and a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

In contrast, Earlham Middle School and Earlham Senior High School have lower statewide rankings and fewer 5-star ratings, indicating they may not be performing as well as the elementary school. The district's test scores show that Earlham Elementary School students consistently outperform the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, while the middle and high school students also perform above the state average, but not as strongly as the elementary school.

The data also reveals that all three schools in the district have a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, which may be an area of concern. Additionally, the elementary school has the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 22.78%, followed by the middle school at 19.85% and the high school at 14.9%. The district's spending per student is relatively consistent across the schools, ranging from $12,602 to $13,748 per student, and the student-teacher ratios vary, with the elementary school having the lowest at 12.5 and the middle school the highest at 20.1.
