Summary:
The 50530 zip code has only one school, Dayton Center, an elementary school serving grades PK-4 with 205 students. Dayton Center is part of the Southeast Valley Community School District, which is ranked 221 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Dayton Center's academic performance is mixed, with 4th grade students performing above the district and state averages in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math, but 3rd grade students lagging behind in ELA. The school also faces challenges with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%. However, Dayton Center spends $14,497 per student and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, which may be related to the school's efforts to support its student population, of which 46.34% receive free or reduced-price lunch.
Overall, Dayton Center appears to have some strengths, particularly in its 4th grade academic performance, but also faces challenges with lower 3rd grade proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism. The school's demographics and resource allocation suggest a focus on supporting its students' academic and social-emotional needs.
