Summary:
The 50138 zip code is home to a single high school, Knoxville High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Knoxville Community School District. While Knoxville High School's performance has been relatively stable, with a 2-star rating and a statewide ranking fluctuating between the middle and lower range of Iowa high schools, there are some areas for improvement, such as the school's higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate and slightly below-average academic proficiency rates.
Knoxville High School has 503 students and a student-teacher ratio of 14.4, which is slightly lower than the state average. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.3% is slightly below the state average, but still relatively high. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern. Academically, Knoxville High School's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally on par with or slightly below the state and district averages.
Despite these challenges, Knoxville High School appears to be well-resourced, with per-student spending of $14,996, which is above the state average. Additionally, the school's higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (39.96%) may present unique opportunities for the school to provide targeted support and resources to these students. Overall, while Knoxville High School has room for improvement, the school's stable performance and investment of resources suggest that it is working to support student success.
