Camanche Middle School

Summary:

Camanche Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Camanche Community School District in Camanche, Iowa, with a student population of 282 as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school's academic performance, as measured by the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP), is generally on par with or slightly below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, but notably lower than that of the higher-ranked nearby schools, such as North Scott Junior High School and Pleasant Valley Junior High School.

Camanche Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 40.91% to 45.04% over the past three school years, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $12,520, which is higher than the state average but lower than the nearby North Scott Junior High ($12,673) and Pleasant Valley Junior High ($10,678). Camanche Middle School's student-teacher ratio is comparable to the nearby schools, ranging from 14 to 14.6 over the past three school years.

While the racial composition of Camanche Middle School's student body has become less diverse over the past three school years, with the percentage of White students increasing from 91.16% in 2020-2021 to 88.65% in 2022-2023, the school's academic performance, socioeconomic status, and spending per student are generally lower than the higher-ranked nearby schools. This suggests that Camanche Middle School may face greater challenges in terms of student achievement and resource allocation compared to its more affluent and higher-performing counterparts, and could benefit from targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning and address any socioeconomic disparities.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
