Summary

Walcott Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades K-6 in Walcott, Iowa, with 189 students enrolled. The school is part of the Davenport Community School District, which is ranked 297 out of 313 school districts in the state.

One of Walcott Elementary School's key strengths is its consistently strong academic performance, with students outperforming the district and state averages on standardized tests. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 90% of 4th graders at Walcott Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 58.3% for the district and 74.3% for the state. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio than nearby schools, which could contribute to more individualized attention for students.

However, Walcott Elementary School faces some challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the state average and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a need for additional support and resources for students from low-income families. Interestingly, while Walcott Elementary outperforms the district, some nearby schools, such as Blue Grass Elementary, also have strong academic performance, with higher test scores in many areas. The school's statewide ranking has also declined in recent years, suggesting the need to identify and address any underlying factors contributing to this trend.
