Summary:
The Nevada Community School District in Iowa is home to one standout middle school, Nevada Middle School. This school has consistently performed well above the state average, ranking in the top 15% of Iowa middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year.
Nevada Middle School boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and impressive academic results. In 2024-2025, 89.6% of 8th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 80.2%. The school's mathematics proficiency rates are also exceptional, with over 80% of students in grades 5-8 scoring proficient or better, well above the state averages. These strong academic outcomes suggest effective teaching and learning practices at the school.
While the school serves a sizable population of economically disadvantaged students, with 38% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, it has been able to achieve these impressive results. The school's above-average spending per student and favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1 may be contributing factors to its success. However, the school's higher-than-desired chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is an area that the school and district may want to address.
