Summary:

The 51632 zip code contains a single elementary school, Garfield Elementary School, which serves students in grades K-6 and is part of the Clarinda Community School District. Garfield Elementary has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, ranking between 301-365 out of 557-576 Iowa elementary schools in the past 3 school years. The school's performance on ISASP tests is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts generally lower than state averages, but higher in Mathematics and Science.

Garfield Elementary has a student enrollment of 562 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.5, slightly lower than the national average. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,763. A notable characteristic of the school is its high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 48.58%, indicating a relatively high percentage of students from low-income families.

While Garfield Elementary has maintained a consistent 2-star rating, the data suggests areas for potential improvement, particularly in English Language Arts proficiency. The school's strengths appear to be in Mathematics and Science. The high percentage of low-income students may present unique challenges and considerations for the school's educational approach, though further analysis would be needed to better understand the relationship between socioeconomic factors and student outcomes.
