Summary:

The 50665 zip code is home to a single high school, Aplington-Parkersburg High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Aplington-Parkersburg Community School District. This standout institution has consistently ranked among the top 32 high schools in Iowa over the past 3 years, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Aplington-Parkersburg High School's academic excellence is evident in its significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had an impressive 87.7% proficiency in 10th grade ELA, well above the state average of 74.7%. Additionally, the school's 4-year graduation rate of 88.3% in 2023-2024 surpasses the state average, indicating that the school is effectively preparing its students for success.

With a student-teacher ratio of 14.5 and a spending per student of $16,000 (2018-2019), Aplington-Parkersburg High School appears to be well-resourced, which may contribute to its strong academic performance. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in 2023-2024 is an area that could be further investigated and addressed to potentially enhance student outcomes even further.
