Summary

Mid-Prairie High School is a public high school located in Wellman, Iowa, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 374 students. The school is part of the Mid-Prairie Community School District, which is ranked 162 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mid-Prairie High School has had a relatively stable four-year graduation rate, ranging from 87.5% to 91.3% over the past few years, which is generally on par with or slightly higher than the state average. However, the school has seen a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 14.5% in 2023-2024 to 23.4% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state average. The school's performance on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) is mixed, with English Language Arts proficiency rates generally on par with or slightly below the state and district averages, while Mathematics and Science proficiency rates are generally on par with or slightly above the state and district averages.

Comparing Mid-Prairie High School to nearby high-performing schools, such as West Senior High School in the Iowa City Community School District, Clear Creek Amana High School in the Clear Creek Amana Community School District, and Williamsburg Junior-Senior High School in the Williamsburg Community School District, reveals that these schools generally have higher test scores and graduation rates, but also lower chronic absenteeism and free/reduced lunch rates. This suggests that Mid-Prairie High School may be falling behind compared to other high schools in the state, and the district should prioritize addressing the concerning trend of rising chronic absenteeism.
