Summary:
The 50035 zip code in Iowa is home to two high-performing middle schools: Bondurant - Farrar Intermediate School and Bondurant-Farrar Junior High. Both schools have consistently ranked in the top half of Iowa middle schools, with Bondurant - Farrar Intermediate School even reaching the top 30% in recent years.
Academically, these schools excel, with impressive proficiency rates on the ISASP exams that often exceed the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Bondurant - Farrar Intermediate School's 5th and 6th grade students have particularly strong performance, with 75%+ proficiency rates in ELA and Science, while Bondurant-Farrar Junior High's 7th and 8th grade students also excel, with 85%+ proficiency in ELA and 70%+ in Math and Science.
The schools in the Bondurant-Farrar Community School District appear to be well-resourced, with above-average per-student spending and favorable student-teacher ratios. However, the relatively high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools (21.6%) are worth further investigation to understand the underlying causes and implement strategies to improve attendance.
