The zip code 50161 is home to a single public middle/high school, Collins-Maxwell Middle/High School, which serves grades 6-12 and has a total enrollment of 208 students. The school's performance is mixed, with strengths in English Language Arts but challenges in Mathematics and Science compared to state averages.
Collins-Maxwell Middle/High School has a predominantly white student population, with 89.42% of students identifying as white. The school's academic performance on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) shows that in English Language Arts, proficiency rates range from 65.8% to 87.9% across different grade levels, generally outperforming the state average. However, in Mathematics, proficiency rates range from 51.5% to 70%, with some grades performing below the state average. In Science, the school's proficiency rates are 63.2% for 10th grade and 41.4% for 8th grade, with the 8th-grade performance below the state average.
The school serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 36.06% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $17,207, which is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.6, lower than the state average. These resource allocations may be contributing factors to the school's relatively strong performance in English Language Arts, as well as its ability to maintain smaller class sizes. However, the school still faces challenges in improving its Mathematics and Science outcomes, which may be linked to the socioeconomic factors of its student population.
