Elementary Schools in Red Oak Community School District

The Red Oak Community School District in Iowa is home to two elementary schools: Inman Elementary School and Red Oak Early Childhood Center. Both schools have consistently performed below the state average on key metrics, with no clear standout performers in the district.

Inman Elementary School has been ranked in the bottom 25% of Iowa elementary schools for the past three years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels, and has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%. Additionally, a relatively high percentage of students, 59.57%, are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Similarly, Red Oak Early Childhood Center has been ranked in the bottom 40% of Iowa elementary schools in recent years, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school serves a very small student population of only 50 students and also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%. Furthermore, an even higher percentage of students, 70%, are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The district's financial information shows that Red Oak Early Childhood Center has a higher per-student spending compared to Inman Elementary School, but this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.
