Summary:
The Schleswig Community School District in Iowa has one middle school, Schleswig Middle School, which serves grades 5-8. While the school has some areas of strength, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in certain subjects and grade levels, it also faces challenges, including a relatively low statewide ranking and high chronic absenteeism rates.
Schleswig Middle School is ranked 256 out of 344 Iowa middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 1-star rating out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school's ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 183 out of 334 in 2022-2023 (2-star rating) to 262 out of 337 in 2023-2024 (1-star rating). Proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics vary across grade levels, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. However, the school's science proficiency rates are generally higher than the state averages.
One significant concern for Schleswig Middle School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 40.38% in the 2023-2024 school year, indicating that the school may be serving a population with greater socioeconomic challenges. The district's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $14,627, and the school had a student-teacher ratio of 14.6 to 1 in the 2023-2024 school year.
