Summary

Eagle Grove Elementary is a public elementary school in Eagle Grove, Iowa, serving 443 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Eagle Grove Community School District. The school faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, below-average test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Taft Elementary in the Humboldt Community School District, Eagle Grove Elementary is underperforming. Taft Elementary has significantly higher test scores, with 82.4% of 3rd graders and 87.5% of 4th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to Eagle Grove's 54.5% and 58.5%, respectively. Additionally, Eagle Grove Elementary's spending per student ($12,163 in 2018-2019) is lower than the nearby Fort Dodge Community School District and Humboldt Community School District schools, which spend $15,434, $15,271, and $12,984 per student, respectively.

To address these challenges, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions to improve student attendance, investing in professional development and curriculum resources to enhance instructional quality, and exploring ways to provide additional support and resources for economically disadvantaged students. By addressing these key areas, Eagle Grove Elementary can work towards providing a high-quality education for all its students and closing the performance gap with its neighboring schools.
