Summary:

The Hubbard-Radcliffe Community School District in Iowa consists of two schools: South Hardin Middle School and Hubbard-Radcliffe Elementary School. While the elementary school is a standout performer, the middle school lags behind in academic achievement.

Hubbard-Radcliffe Elementary School consistently ranks highly in the state, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for the 2024-2025 school year and placing it in the top 46 elementary schools in Iowa. In contrast, South Hardin Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa middle schools, with a 1-star rating. The elementary school has significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state and district averages, while the middle school's proficiency rates are generally lower.

Both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, with 21.6% for both in the 2023-2024 school year. However, Hubbard-Radcliffe Elementary School has a lower percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients (30.57%) compared to South Hardin Middle School (48.45%), which may be a contributing factor to the performance gap between the two schools. The district may want to investigate the factors driving these differences and implement strategies to improve the outcomes at South Hardin Middle School, as well as address the high chronic absenteeism rates across both schools.
