Summary:

The Lake Mills Community School District in Iowa consists of three schools: Lake Mills Elementary School, Lake Mills Senior High School, and Lake Mills Middle School. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with the elementary school consistently ranking among the top in the state.

The standout school in the district is Lake Mills Elementary School, which has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranked 27th out of 576 Iowa elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school boasts exceptional test scores, with the majority of students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science on the ISASP assessments.

While the district as a whole demonstrates strong academic performance, there are some notable differences in key metrics across the schools. For instance, all three schools have a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate, and the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 31.92% at the high school to 35.46% at the middle school. Additionally, the spending per student and student-teacher ratios vary, with the high school spending the most and the middle school having the highest student-teacher ratio. These differences may warrant further analysis to ensure equitable distribution of resources and support for all students in the district.
