Summary:
The Midland Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Midland Middle/High School, which serves students in grades 6-12. The school's performance is mixed, with some areas of strength and others that need improvement.
Midland Middle/High School has a statewide ranking between 213-232 out of 340 Iowa high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's 4-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 88.3%, slightly above the state average, but its chronic absenteeism rate for the same year was 21.6%, higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) were above the state average in some grades for English Language Arts and Science, but below average in Mathematics.
The school serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with 49.64% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $15,043, higher than the state average, but it's unclear if these resources are being used effectively to improve student outcomes. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate and uneven academic performance suggest that the district may need to focus on improving attendance and providing additional support and resources to help students succeed.
