Summary

Moravia Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 160 students in grades PK-5 in Moravia, Iowa, which is part of the Moravia Community School District. Despite facing some demographic and socioeconomic challenges, the school has consistently performed above the state average on standardized tests, particularly in the upper elementary grades.

Moravia Elementary School's academic performance is a notable strength, with 85% of 4th graders and 85.7% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 76% and 69.8%, respectively. In Math, the school had 85% of 4th graders and 81% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to 74.3% and 71.5% statewide. When compared to nearby schools, Moravia Elementary generally outperforms the lower-ranked Moulton Elementary and Blakesburg Elementary on test scores, while lagging behind the higher-ranked Lakeview Elementary and Lincoln Center.

However, the school faces some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 21.6% to 43.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.68% to 55% in recent years, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Addressing these issues could be areas for further improvement for the school and the Moravia Community School District.
