Summary:

The Eldora-New Providence Community School District operates two schools: Eldora-New Providence Elementary School and South Hardin High School. Both schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with students generally outperforming the state average on standardized tests. However, the district faces a significant challenge in addressing high chronic absenteeism rates at both the elementary and high school levels.

Eldora-New Providence Elementary School has consistently strong ISASP test scores, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students outperforming the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. Despite this, the school has a relatively low statewide ranking, ranking between 211-368 out of 557-576 Iowa elementary schools over the past three years. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, which is a concern.

The high school also has solid ISASP test scores, with 10th and 11th-grade students outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Additionally, the school has a relatively high graduation rate of 88.3%, which is a positive indicator.
