Summary:
The 51551 zip code is home to a single public high school, East Mills Junior/Senior High School, which serves grades 7-12 and has a total enrollment of 204 students. The school is part of the East Mills Community School District, which is ranked 251 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
East Mills Junior/Senior High School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently outperforming the state average on standardized tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across multiple grade levels. In the 2024-2025 school year, 92% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 74.7%. The school also had a strong 88.3% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year.
However, the school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (33.33%) may indicate some socioeconomic challenges within the school's population. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 110th out of 336 Iowa high schools in 2022-2023 to 137th out of 340 in 2024-2025, which could be a potential area of concern that warrants further investigation.
