Summary:
The 52057 zip code in Iowa is home to a single elementary school, Lambert Elementary School, which serves students from the West Delaware County Community School District. While the district is ranked 72 out of 313 in the state, Lambert Elementary has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger in recent years, dropping from 211 out of 565 Iowa elementary schools in 2022-2023 to a projected 316 out of 576 in 2024-2025.
Academically, Lambert Elementary students generally perform at or slightly below the state average on the ISASP assessments in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades. The school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% for the 2023-2024 school year, which could be contributing to the decline in student performance. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with 49.25% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,988 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13.2, the academic performance of Lambert Elementary students appears to be an area of concern. Further investigation into the underlying factors, such as instructional practices, curriculum, and support for economically disadvantaged students, could provide valuable insights to help the school and district address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
