Summary

Camanche Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in Camanche, Iowa, part of the Camanche Community School District. With 273 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 14-15, the school generally performs above the state average on ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests, though its performance is mixed compared to the nearby high-performing North Scott and Pleasant Valley districts.

One area of concern is Camanche Middle School's wide range of chronic absenteeism rates, from around 11% to over 23% in recent years, which is higher than the 21.6% rate reported for the nearby North Scott and Pleasant Valley junior high schools. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40-45% in recent years, significantly higher than the 10-26% rates at the nearby districts.

Despite these challenges, Camanche Middle School's spending per student, at around $12,500 in 2018-2019, is comparable to the $12,673 and $10,678 spent per student at North Scott and Pleasant Valley junior high schools, respectively. By addressing the inconsistent academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and socioeconomic factors, and exploring opportunities for collaboration with nearby high-performing districts, Camanche Middle School may be able to improve its overall educational outcomes for its students.
