Summary:
The West Harrison Community School District in Iowa has one elementary school, West Harrison Elementary, serving students from grades K-4. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking over the past few years, ranging from 2 out of 5 stars to 1 out of 5 stars.
West Harrison Elementary's proficiency rates in the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) have shown some strengths, such as 3rd-grade mathematics exceeding the state average, but also areas of concern, particularly in 3rd-grade English Language Arts, where the school lags behind the state average. The school faces demographic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which can impact academic performance.
Additionally, West Harrison Elementary has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, which may require attention and intervention to improve student attendance and engagement. The school's per-student spending is relatively high, suggesting that resources are being allocated to support the students, but the academic performance metrics indicate that there may be opportunities to optimize the use of these resources to drive better outcomes for the students.
