Elementary Schools in Lamoni Community School District

Summary:

The Lamoni Elementary School is the sole elementary school in the Lamoni Community School District in Iowa. The school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and faces significant challenges, including low academic performance and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, Lamoni Elementary School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science are generally lower than the state average, while its Mathematics performance is more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average. The school has a low statewide ranking, ranging from 294 out of 565 Iowa elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 460 out of 576 in 2024-2025, and is rated just 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.9 to 1 and higher-than-average per-student spending, the data suggests that Lamoni Elementary School and the Lamoni Community School District as a whole may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes, particularly in the areas of English Language Arts and Science. The school's challenges appear to be driven by a combination of socioeconomic factors and inconsistent academic performance across different grade levels.
