Summary:
The zip code 50122 contains only one school, South Hardin Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Hubbard-Radcliffe Community School District. The school has a predominantly white student population, with 85.49% of students identifying as white. However, the school's academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science, lags behind the state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 57.4% to 72.2% in ELA and 57.1% in Science, compared to the state averages of 72.7% to 76% and 66.5%, respectively.
The school's Mathematics proficiency rates are more mixed, ranging from 58.8% for 6th grade to 79.6% for 7th grade, compared to the state average of 69.9% to 72%. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students (50.26%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. This factor may contribute to the lower academic performance compared to the state averages.
Over the past three school years, South Hardin Middle School has maintained a consistent ranking within the middle schools in Iowa, ranging from 186th to 241st out of 324 to 337 schools. This suggests that the school's performance has been relatively stable, but still below the state average. To improve, the school could focus on addressing the academic needs of its students, particularly in ELA and Science, while also considering the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement.
