Summary:
The 50543 zip code is home to a single public high school, Southeast Valley High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 342 students. The school 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.
Southeast Valley High School's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state average across all subject areas and grade levels. The school's four-year graduation rate is 88.3%, slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate is 21.6%, which is concerning. The school's free/reduced lunch rate of 37.13% suggests it serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may impact student learning and achievement.
While the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.8 to 1 is positive, it does not seem to be translating into strong academic outcomes based on the test score data. Addressing the root causes of the low academic performance, high absenteeism, and graduation rates should be a priority for the school and district leadership.
