Summary

Truman Elementary School is a public elementary school in Davenport, Iowa, serving 499 students in grades PK-6. The school is part of the Davenport Community School District, which is ranked 297 out of 313 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Truman Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years. The school has higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.6% to 42.5%, and significantly lower test scores on the ISASP assessment compared to the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Truman's 3rd grade proficiency rates were 41.4% in ELA and 44.3% in Math, while the district's rates were 52% and 57.8%, and the state's were 67.9% and 75.8%, respectively. Additionally, Truman has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.11% to 55.11%.

When comparing Truman Elementary to other schools in the Davenport district, it is clear that the school is one of the lower-performing ones. For instance, Eisenhower Elementary and Harrison Elementary have significantly higher test scores and lower chronic absenteeism rates than Truman. While Truman's spending per student is higher than some nearby schools, this additional funding has not translated into improved academic outcomes, suggesting that other factors, such as instructional practices and community engagement, may play a significant role in the school's performance.
