Summary

Grant Wood Elementary School is a public elementary school in Bettendorf, Iowa, serving 430 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bettendorf Community School District, which is ranked 165 out of 313 districts in the state.

Grant Wood Elementary consistently outperforms the Bettendorf district and the state of Iowa in standardized test scores, with 82.8% of 4th-grade students proficient or better in ISASP Mathematics, compared to 84.2% for the district and 74.3% for the state. However, the school has relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.6% to 23.7% in recent years, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, Grant Wood has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.69% to 49.07%, suggesting a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

When compared to other schools in the Bettendorf district, Grant Wood Elementary performs well academically, but the higher chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch rates indicate that the school may benefit from targeted interventions or support programs to address the needs of its student population. Over the past several years, the school's statewide ranking has declined, from 129 out of 616 Iowa elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 370 out of 576 in 2024-2025, and its SchoolDigger star rating has decreased from 4 stars to 2 stars during this period, which is a trend worth further investigation.
