Summary:
The Moulton-Udell Community School District in Iowa has only one high school, Moulton-Udell High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Iowa high schools over the past 3 school years, with a ranking of 318 out of 340 schools in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance on ISASP tests is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 64.7% across different grade levels and subject areas.
Moulton-Udell High School had an 88.3% four-year graduation rate in the 2023-2024 school year, which is slightly below the state average. The school also had a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, significantly higher than the state average. The school has a high percentage of students (60.26%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population, and a student-teacher ratio of 11.5, which is slightly higher than the state average.
Despite the school district's relatively high spending per student of $15,981 in the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average, the academic performance of Moulton-Udell High School remains below the state average. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes, and a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the underlying issues and improve educational outcomes for the students.
