Summary:
Estherville Lincoln Central Com School District in Iowa has a single middle school, Estherville Lincoln Central Middle School, which serves grades 5-8. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some grade levels and subject areas exceeding state averages while others fall below. Despite its lower overall ranking compared to other Iowa middle schools, the school benefits from a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, suggesting efficient resource allocation.
Estherville Lincoln Central Middle School's ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) test scores show inconsistent performance across grade levels and subjects. In English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rates are below the state average in 5th and 6th grades but above average in 7th and 8th grades. In Mathematics, the school lags behind the state average in 5th, 6th, and 7th grades, but exceeds the average in 8th grade. Similarly, the school's Science proficiency is below the state average in 5th grade but above average in 8th grade.
The school faces socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students (54.46%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 10.7 is lower than the state average, and its per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $14,122, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the Estherville Lincoln Central Com School District is efficiently allocating resources, but the impact on student outcomes is not yet fully realized.
