Summary:
The 50049 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Chariton Community School District. While the schools demonstrate a mix of strengths and challenges, Chariton High School and Chariton Middle School stand out as the top performers in the area.
Chariton High School ranks 229 out of 340 Iowa high schools and has a 2-star rating, but it boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.3% and performs above the state average in ISASP English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Similarly, Chariton Middle School ranks 206 out of 344 Iowa middle schools, with a 2-star rating, and demonstrates strong performance in ISASP English Language Arts and Mathematics, exceeding the state average across multiple grade levels.
However, the elementary schools, Columbus Elementary and Van Allen Elementary, show more mixed results, with some grades performing below the state average. Additionally, all schools in the area face a concerning trend of high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be a contributing factor to the overall academic performance. Further analysis and targeted interventions could help address these challenges and support the educational success of the community.
