Summary

Durant Junior/Senior High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Durant, Iowa, with 339 students. The school is part of the Durant Community School District, which is ranked 268 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Durant Junior/Senior High School has seen a decline in its 4-year graduation rate, dropping from 87.5% in 2022-2023 to 84.2% in 2023-2024, this is still lower than the state average of 88.3%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.4% to 23.4% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. On the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress), Durant's test scores are generally below the state averages, especially in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with only 52% of 11th graders proficient in ELA compared to the state average of 69.3%.

When compared to nearby schools, such as North Scott High School, Durant Junior/Senior High School generally performs worse on key metrics like test scores and graduation rates. This declining performance suggests the need for interventions to improve student outcomes, potentially addressing factors like the school's relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which ranges from 26.55% to 31.76% over the past few years, and the school's lower spending per student compared to some nearby schools.
