Summary:

The Grinnell-Newburg Community School District in Iowa operates three elementary schools: Fairview Elementary School, Davis Elementary School, and Bailey Park Elementary School. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade and are located in the Grinnell-Newburg area.

Among the three schools, Davis Elementary School stands out with consistently high academic performance, with 3rd and 4th-grade students scoring well above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the ISASP assessments. The school is ranked among the top 25% of Iowa elementary schools and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating its strong educational outcomes. Fairview Elementary School, which serves the youngest students in the district (PK-2), maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 13.8 and spends the most per student ($17,326) among the three schools, potentially indicating a focus on resources and support for the early grades.

While the district-wide ISASP performance is noteworthy, with scores exceeding the state average in most grade levels and subjects, the schools face challenges related to student equity. All three schools have a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and the chronic absenteeism rate is high across the district, with all three schools reporting 21.6% chronic absenteeism in the 2023-2024 school year. Addressing these equity-related concerns could be an important focus for the district to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
