Summary:
The 50606 zip code area is home to three schools that are part of the Starmont Community School District: Starmont Elementary School, Starmont High School, and Starmont Middle School. These schools serve students from preschool through 12th grade and provide a range of educational opportunities in the local community.
Among the standout schools in the area, Starmont High School stands out with a 3-star rating, a strong 88.3% four-year graduation rate, and impressive performance on ISASP tests, with 75% or more of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics. Starmont Middle School also performs well, ranking 165 out of 344 Iowa middle schools and demonstrating particularly strong results in 8th-grade English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
While Starmont Elementary School has more variable performance, with 3rd-grade scores below the state average but 4th and 5th-grade scores exceeding the state average, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% across all three schools. Additionally, the significant difference in per-student spending between the high school and the middle school suggests the district may need to re-evaluate its funding allocation to ensure more equitable distribution of resources.
