Summary

Eddyville Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Central School District in Eddyville, Iowa, with 277 students enrolled.

Eddyville Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests, with 88% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA and 96% proficient or better in math, compared to 70% and 94% for the district, and 67.9% and 75.8% for the state, respectively. However, the school has higher chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 15.3% to 23.4%, which is an area of concern.

However, it lags behind some higher-performing schools in the Albia Community School District, such as Lincoln Center. Interestingly, Eddyville Elementary's lower spending per student compared to nearby schools in the Ottumwa Community School District may be a factor contributing to its stronger academic performance.
