Summary:

The zip code 50858 contains a single elementary school, Orient Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Orient-Macksburg Community School District.

Orient Elementary School has a relatively small student population of 75 students and consistently ranks in the bottom half of all Iowa elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% and a majority (56%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. Despite these challenges, the school spends a relatively high amount per student, $16,771, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 10.9, which could be a potential bright spot in terms of providing more individualized attention and support for students.

Overall, the data suggests that Orient Elementary School is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students, and further investigation would be needed to fully understand the root causes of the school's challenges and identify potential areas for improvement. While the small class sizes and high per-student spending could be seen as positive factors, they do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for the students at this time.
