Summary:

The Riceville Community School District in Iowa is home to a single elementary school, Riceville Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 226 students. Despite having a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 45.13%, Riceville Elementary School has consistently demonstrated strong academic performance, often exceeding the state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP).

In the 2024-2025 school year, Riceville Elementary School's 4th-grade proficiency rates were 86.4% in ELA and 88.6% in Math, compared to the state averages of 76% and 74.3%, respectively. The school has maintained a relatively strong statewide ranking, fluctuating between the top half and middle of Iowa elementary schools in recent years, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2024-2025 school year. This academic success may be attributed to the school's low student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which allows for more individualized attention and support for students.

However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in the 2023-2024 school year is an area that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student attendance and engagement. Overall, Riceville Elementary School appears to be a standout school within the Riceville Community School District, with a strong focus on academic achievement and a commitment to supporting its diverse student population.
