Summary:
The Riceville Community School District in Iowa has one high school, Riceville High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has some areas of strength, it also faces challenges in terms of academic performance and student engagement.
Riceville High School's graduation rate of 88.3% is slightly below the state average, and the school has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance is inconsistent, with some grade levels and subject areas performing well above the state average, while others are significantly below. For example, 11th-grade students scored above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, but 10th-grade students scored well below the state average in Science and Mathematics.
Despite spending $14,165 per student, which is higher than the state average, and having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.1, Riceville High School faces challenges related to the economic disadvantage of its student population, with 40.49% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school may need to implement targeted strategies to address these issues and improve overall student achievement and engagement.
