Summary:
The 50036 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The schools in this area generally perform well academically, with two elementary schools, United Community School and Franklin Elementary School, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Iowa elementary schools.

The racial makeup of the schools in the 50036 zip code area is predominantly white, ranging from 85.79% to 89.92% white students. However, the schools vary significantly in their free and reduced lunch rates, from 22.44% at United Community School to 49.22% at Lincoln Elementary School. This suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the academic success of these schools, as the schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates tend to have lower academic performance.
In contrast, Boone High School and Boone Middle School, which are part of the Boone Community School District, have lower statewide rankings, falling in the bottom 30% of Iowa high schools and middle schools. This disparity in academic performance across the different school levels may be related to the allocation of resources, as the high school and middle school have higher spending per student and higher student-teacher ratios compared to the elementary schools.
