Summary:
The North Tama County Community School District in Iowa is home to a single high school, North Tama High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has been below average compared to other high schools in the state, with a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 205 and 245 out of 336-340 high schools in recent years.
North Tama High School has a four-year graduation rate of 88.3%, which is slightly below the state average. The school also struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages, with some exceptions in certain grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, 40.4% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, North Tama High School does have some positive attributes, such as a lower-than-average student-teacher ratio of 10:1, which suggests smaller class sizes. However, the school's overall performance and declining statewide ranking suggest that there is room for improvement in areas such as academic achievement, attendance, and overall school climate and culture.
