Summary:
The 50126 zip code in Iowa is home to a single high school, Iowa Falls - Alden High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance data suggests some areas for improvement, particularly in academic proficiency and graduation rates compared to state averages.
Iowa Falls - Alden High School has an enrollment of 420 students and a four-year graduation rate of 88.3%, which is slightly below the state average. The school's academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are also generally lower than the district and state averages, with the most significant gap in 11th-grade Mathematics at 50% proficiency compared to the state's 65.6%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is relatively high, which may be contributing to the lower academic outcomes.
On a positive note, the school's student-teacher ratio of 14.8 is favorable, and its spending per student of $12,616 is in line with the state average. However, the school serves a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 37.86% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This demographic factor may present additional challenges that the school and Iowa Falls Community School District will need to address to improve student success.
