Summary

Audubon Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Audubon, Iowa, part of the Audubon Community School District. With 246 students enrolled, the school consistently outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on standardized tests, with 94.1% of 3rd graders and 80.6% of 4th graders proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 75.8% and 74.3%, respectively.

However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.5% in 2021-2022 to 21.6% in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, Audubon Elementary School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 39.02% to 43.9% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of students from low-income families. The school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 12.2 to 12.9, which is lower than the nearby Cr-B Elementary School (15.9) and Irwin Elementary School (11.8).

While Audubon Elementary School's academic performance is strong, its fluctuating statewide ranking, ranging from 89th out of 576 schools in 2024-2025 to 469th out of 603 schools in 2018-2019, suggests inconsistent or external factors influencing its performance. Additionally, the school's spending per student ($11,029 in 2018-2019) is lower than the nearby Cr-B Elementary School ($33,472) and Irwin Elementary School ($12,988), indicating the school may be operating with fewer resources compared to some of its neighbors.
