Fort Madison Community School District

The Fort Madison Community School District consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant disparities in school performance within the district, with Lincoln Elementary School standing out as a higher-performing institution compared to the other schools.

Lincoln Elementary School is ranked 186 out of 626 Iowa elementary schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. It outperforms the district and state averages in 3rd-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates. In contrast, Fort Madison High School, ranked 234 out of 338 Iowa high schools, outperforms the district and state in 10th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rates but still lags behind the state average.

The data also suggests a potential correlation between socioeconomic factors and academic performance, as the schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates tend to have lower test scores. The overall lower performance of the district compared to the state averages indicates a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics.
