Summary:

The 51106 zip code in Iowa is home to a single high school, East High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Based on the available data, East High School appears to be a low-performing school, ranking 249 out of 340 Iowa high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

East High School's performance is marked by several concerning metrics. The school has a 88.3% four-year graduation rate, which is below the state average, and a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6%. Academically, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are consistently below the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 62.8% of 11th-grade students were proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to the state averages of 69.3% and 65.6%, respectively.

Additionally, a significant portion (57.71%) of East High School's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $14,108, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 19.8 for the 2023-2024 school year. These factors suggest that the school may face challenges in providing adequate resources and support to its students, which could contribute to its overall low performance.
