Summary:

The Stanton Community School District in Iowa is home to two standout schools: Stanton High School and Stanton Elementary School. Both schools have consistently outperformed state averages in key metrics, including test scores and graduation rates.

Stanton High School is ranked 116 out of 340 Iowa high schools and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts an impressive 88.3% four-year graduation rate and outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics on the ISASP tests. Stanton Elementary School, on the other hand, is ranked 80 out of 576 Iowa elementary schools and has a 4-star rating. The elementary school stands out with 100% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, and it also outperforms the state average in Mathematics and Science.

While both schools demonstrate strong academic performance, they face some challenges, such as higher-than-desired chronic absenteeism rates and relatively high free and reduced lunch rates, which may indicate the need for additional support. The district may also want to examine the difference in spending per student between the high school and elementary school to ensure equitable resource allocation. Overall, the Stanton Community School District has two exceptional schools that are providing a quality education to their students.
