Summary:

The 50659 zip code is home to a single high-performing high school, New Hampton High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the New Hampton Community School District. This standout institution consistently ranks among the top high schools in Iowa, with a statewide ranking of 47 out of 336 in the 2022-2023 school year and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New Hampton High School's academic excellence is evident in its students' consistently high proficiency rates on ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests, exceeding the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, 87.2% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 74.7%. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.3% in the 2023-2024 school year is also above the state average, indicating a strong commitment to student success.

Despite serving a diverse student population, with over 32% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, New Hampton High School has maintained its academic excellence. The school's high performance, coupled with its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.3 in the 2023-2024 school year and the district's investment of $15,686 per student in the 2018-2019 school year, suggests a focus on providing a quality educational experience for all students.
