Summary:

The Keokuk Community School District in Iowa is home to three elementary schools: Hawthorne Elementary School, George Washington Elementary School, and Torrence Elementary. These schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities within the district.

Among the standout schools, George Washington Elementary School has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 289th out of 565 Iowa elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 334th out of 557 in 2023-2024 and 406th out of 576 in 2024-2025. The school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally higher than the district and state averages, particularly in 4th and 5th grades. Additionally, Hawthorne Elementary School has a strong 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate of 73.6%, which is higher than the district and state averages.

However, the Keokuk Community School District as a whole is ranked 269th out of 313 districts in Iowa and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that the district's performance is below the state average. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch eligibility across the schools suggest that addressing socioeconomic challenges may be a key factor in improving overall academic outcomes within the district.
