Summary:
The Knoxville Community School District in Iowa has only one middle school, Knoxville Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 216 out of 334 Iowa middle schools in 2022-2023 to 262 out of 344 in 2024-2025. Its overall rating by SchoolDigger is 1 out of 5 stars, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.
Knoxville Middle School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages, with some exceptions. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 7th-grade ELA proficiency rate was 80%, which was higher than the state average of 74.9%. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 50.31% in 2023-2024, which may be a contributing factor to its lower academic performance.
Despite the school's below-average performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which is lower than the state average. This could be a positive factor in terms of providing more individualized attention and support for students. However, this alone does not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement based on the available data. Overall, the analysis of Knoxville Middle School suggests that it is a lower-performing school compared to other middle schools in Iowa, with some inconsistencies in its performance over time.
