Summary:

The 51334 zip code area has only one elementary school, Demoney Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 and has a total enrollment of 486 students. Demoney Elementary is part of the Estherville Lincoln Central Com School District, which is ranked 286 out of 313 school districts in Iowa and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Demoney Elementary's statewide school ranking has declined over the past few years, going from 402 out of 557 Iowa elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 516 out of 576 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% and student academic performance, as measured by ISASP test scores, is below the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (55.76%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively low-income student population.

Despite the school's declining performance and academic challenges, Demoney Elementary has a relatively small student-teacher ratio of 11.6, which is lower than the state average. However, the broader trends suggest that the school is struggling to meet the educational needs of its students, and significant improvements may be necessary to better serve the community.
