Summary

East Sac County High School is a public high school located in Lake View, Iowa, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 383 students. The school is part of the East Sac County Community School District, which is ranked 175 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East Sac County High School's performance has been inconsistent over the years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 74th and 253rd out of Iowa's high schools, and its SchoolDigger rating ranging from a high of 4 stars to a low of 1 star. The school's 4-year graduation rates have generally been above 90%, but have dipped below that mark in some years. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high, with over 20% of students chronically absent in recent years. While the school's test scores show a mix of performance, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the state average and others falling behind, the high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges.

Compared to the nearby Carroll High School, South Central Calhoun High School, and Westside Junior-Senior High School, East Sac County High School generally underperforms, with Westside Junior-Senior High School standing out as the top-performing school in the area. The school may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address its areas of weakness and improve overall academic achievement and student outcomes.
