Summary:
The Marion Independent School District in Iowa has only one high school, Marion High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a drop from a 3-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 2-star rating in the following two years, suggesting some challenges in maintaining its statewide ranking compared to other Iowa high schools.
Marion High School's four-year graduation rate of 88.3% for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly above the state average, but the school faces a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% for the same year. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics are generally on par with or slightly below the state averages, with more significant room for improvement in science proficiency. Additionally, the school serves a population with a higher level of economic need, with 28.33% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Marion High School has some positive attributes, including a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.7 for the 2023-2024 school year, which could contribute to the school's ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students. As the only high school in the district, Marion High School's performance and outcomes are crucial for the community, and continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to address areas of concern and help the school achieve better results for its students.
