Summary:
The Starmont Community School District in Iowa has only one middle school, Starmont Middle School, which serves students in grades 7-8. The school has a relatively small student population of 121 and faces some socioeconomic challenges, with 41.32% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
Starmont Middle School's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 161st out of 334 Iowa middle schools in 2022-2023 to 213th out of 337 in 2023-2024. The school's academic performance on the ISASP tests also varies, with 8th-grade students performing significantly better than the state average in English Language Arts and Science, but 7th-grade students performing slightly below the state average in Mathematics.
The school's per-student spending of $6,917 for the 2018-2019 school year was below the state average, which may suggest limited resources and could potentially impact the quality of education and the availability of programs and support services. Understanding the underlying factors that contribute to the school's performance and addressing any disparities would be important areas of focus for the district.
