Summary:

The Keota Community School District in Iowa serves students from elementary through high school, with two schools in the district - Keota Elementary School and Keota High School. While the district as a whole is ranked in the bottom half of Iowa districts, the data reveals that Keota High School is the standout performer, consistently ranking higher than the elementary school and exceeding state averages on various academic metrics.

Keota High School has a strong 4-year graduation rate of 88.3% and its students outperform the state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, particularly in English Language Arts where they exceed the state average by over 10 percentage points in 10th and 11th grade. In contrast, Keota Elementary School has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%. Both schools serve a significant population of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential socioeconomic challenges that may impact learning outcomes.

Despite the district's overall ranking, the data suggests there are opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices between the two schools to drive improvement district-wide. With Keota High School's strong academic performance and the elementary school's room for growth, the district may be able to leverage the high school's success to enhance educational outcomes for all students in the Keota Community School District.
