Summary:
The 50036 zip code is home to a single high school, Boone High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Boone Community School District. While Boone High School has a relatively strong academic performance, with students outpacing the state average on standardized tests, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, suggesting inconsistent performance compared to other high schools in Iowa.
Boone High School has 720 students and a 88.3% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average. However, the school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%, which could negatively impact student learning and achievement. The school's student population includes a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 35.83% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite these challenges, Boone High School appears to be investing resources into its educational program, with above-average per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio than the state average. Overall, Boone High School is a reasonably strong performer within the state, but it faces some areas for improvement, particularly in addressing attendance and supporting the needs of its economically disadvantaged student population.
