Summary

Eldora-New Providence Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 248 students in grades PK-5 in the Eldora-New Providence Community School District located in Eldora, Iowa. The school generally performs better than the state average on standardized tests, with strong proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across grades 3-5. However, the school has faced some challenges, including higher chronic absenteeism rates and a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, Eldora-New Providence Elementary has generally outperformed its peers on ISASP tests, with higher proficiency rates in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade English Language Arts. This suggests the school is providing a relatively strong academic foundation for its students. Despite this, the school's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from a high of 293 out of 616 Iowa elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 365 out of 567 in 2020-2021, indicating that it may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state.

The school's high chronic absenteeism rates, which have consistently exceeded the state average, and its relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggest that the school may face socioeconomic challenges that could be impacting student learning and academic achievement. While the school's academic performance remains relatively strong compared to its local peers, these factors highlight the need for continued support and intervention to ensure all students at Eldora-New Providence Elementary have the opportunity to succeed.
