Summary:
The Le Mars Community School District in Iowa consists of 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade and is known for its diverse educational offerings and commitment to student success.
Among the standout schools in the district is Franklin Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top 25% of Iowa elementary schools and boasts exceptional test scores, with 86-93% of 3rd graders and 78-88% of 4th and 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Le Mars Middle School also stands out, ranking in the top 30% of Iowa middle schools and demonstrating strong test scores, with 77-92% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics.
While the district's high schools, Le Mars High School and the Individualized Learning Center, both have a 88.3% four-year graduation rate, the alternative Individualized Learning Center faces more challenges, with significantly lower test scores and a higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools in the district. The district as a whole has a higher chronic absenteeism rate (21.6%) compared to the state average, which could be an area for improvement.
