Summary:
The Fort Dodge Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Fort Dodge High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is underperforming compared to other schools in the state.
Fort Dodge High School's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all below the state averages for 9th, 10th, and 11th grades. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.3% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is higher than the state average. These challenges may be influenced by the school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 53.83%, and a student-teacher ratio of 18.4, which is slightly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $15,974, the data suggests that more targeted interventions and support may be needed to improve Fort Dodge High School's performance and better serve its students. The consistently low rankings and proficiency rates indicate that the school is facing significant challenges in terms of academic achievement and student outcomes compared to other high schools in Iowa.
