Summary:

The 50858 zip code is home to a single high school, Orient-Macksburg Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has some positive metrics, such as higher-than-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts and a strong graduation rate, it also faces challenges in areas like Math and Science performance, as well as a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate.

Orient-Macksburg Senior High School stands out for its small size, with only 54 students enrolled. This intimate setting could provide personalized attention, but may also limit the range of academic and extracurricular offerings. The school's test scores show strengths in 10th grade English Language Arts and 8th grade English Language Arts, exceeding the state average. However, the school lags behind the state in 10th grade Math and 10th grade Science. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.3% is a positive metric, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is higher than the state would prefer.

The Orient-Macksburg Community School District, which the high school is a part of, is ranked 288 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that there may be systemic issues within the district that are impacting the performance of the high school. Additionally, the high percentage of students (59.26%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may require additional support and resources to ensure equitable educational opportunities.
