Summary:
The 50675 zip code in Iowa is home to two schools, North Tama Elementary and North Tama High School, both part of the North Tama County Community School District. While the schools share a district, they have distinct performance profiles, with the elementary school consistently ranking in the bottom half of Iowa schools and the high school also struggling to achieve strong academic outcomes.
North Tama Elementary, with an enrollment of 284 students in grades PK-6, has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% and a large population (39.08%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The school's academic performance is mixed, with some grade levels scoring above the state average in ELA and Math, while others fall below. In contrast, North Tama High School, with 198 students in grades 7-12, has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.3% but also grapples with a 21.6% chronic absenteeism rate and 40.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
The overall performance of the North Tama County Community School District, ranked 263 out of 313 districts in Iowa and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggests that systemic issues may be impacting the schools in this area. Addressing attendance and socioeconomic challenges, as well as investigating district-level policies and resources, could be key focus areas for improvement across both North Tama Elementary and North Tama High School.
