Summary

North Butler Junior/Senior High School is a public high school located in Greene, Iowa, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 261 students. The school is part of the North Butler Community School District, which is ranked 196 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Butler Junior/Senior High School has consistently maintained high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.5% to 91.5% over the past few years, on par with or slightly higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.4% to 26.4% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. The school's test scores on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) are generally on par with or slightly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with some grade-level variations. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at North Butler has increased from 21.84% in 2021-2022 to 28.35% in 2023-2024, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Clarksville High School and Nashua-Plainfield Junior-Senior High School, which have higher test scores and graduation rates, and Greenview Alternative School and Charles City High School, which have lower performance metrics, North Butler's performance is generally in the middle range. The school's higher spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio could be leveraged to address areas of concern, such as chronic absenteeism and academic achievement.
