Summary:

There is only one middle school located in South Tama County, Iowa - the South Tama County Middle School. This school serves students in grades 6-8 and has faced some challenges in recent years, including a declining statewide ranking and lower-than-average proficiency rates in core academic subjects compared to the state averages.

The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 231 out of 334 Iowa middle schools in 2022-2023 to 298 out of 344 in 2024-2025, and it currently has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates in ISASP tests, particularly in mathematics and science, are significantly lower than the state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 8th-grade proficiency rates were 63.6% in math (compared to the state average of 74.4%) and 64.3% in science (compared to the state average of 70.5%).

Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 68.91% in 2023-2024, suggesting a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families. While the school has a lower student-teacher ratio of 13:1 and higher per-student spending than the state average, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic performance. The school's administration and the South Tama County district may need to explore strategies to address these challenges and support student learning and achievement.
