Summary

Lone Tree Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Lone Tree Community School District in Lone Tree, Iowa. With 229 students, the school is ranked 91 out of 576 Iowa elementary schools and receives a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lone Tree Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in ISASP test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 93.8% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 67.9% and 75.8%, respectively. However, the school has experienced a steady increase in chronic absenteeism, from 13.1% in 2021-2022 to 21.6% in 2023-2024, which is a concerning trend. The school also has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 27.39% to 30.13%, suggesting a higher socioeconomic status of the student population.

When compared to nearby schools in the Iowa City Community School District, Lone Tree Elementary outperforms them in test scores, particularly in mathematics. However, the school's performance has fluctuated significantly over the years, with a high ranking of 91 in 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, and a low ranking of 497 in 2018-2019. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement.
