Summary:
The 52043 zip code area is home to a single public high school, Central Middle School/High School, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the Central Community School District. This small, rural school has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking in recent years, currently ranking 224 out of 340 Iowa high schools with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Central Middle School/High School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts ranging from 61.5% to 87.5% across different grade levels, and Mathematics proficiency rates from 41.7% to 78.1%, often below state averages. Science proficiency rates are also below the state average at 50% for both 10th and 8th grade. The school's 4-year graduation rate is relatively strong at 88.3%, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is a potential area of concern.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $13,348 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, the data suggests that Central Middle School/High School has room for improvement in academic outcomes, particularly in Mathematics and Science. The school's fluctuating performance and ranking indicate a need for further analysis and comparison to other schools in the region to identify areas for targeted support and improvement.
