Summary:
The Lone Tree Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Lone Tree Middle-Senior High School, which serves students in grades 6-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 228th out of 336 Iowa high schools in 2022-2023 to 261st out of 340 in 2024-2025.
Lone Tree Middle-Senior High School's performance on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests has been mixed, with strong results in some subject areas and grade levels, such as 10th grade English Language Arts (88.9% proficient or better) and 8th grade Mathematics (81.3% proficient or better), but struggles in others, such as 11th grade Mathematics (45.7% proficient or better) and 9th grade Mathematics (28.6% proficient or better). The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 88.3%, slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate for the same year was 21.6%, relatively high compared to the state average.
Despite these challenges, Lone Tree Middle-Senior High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1 for the 2023-2024 school year, and its per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,078, slightly above the state average. However, the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 32.54%, indicating a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which could present additional challenges for the school.
