Summary:

The 52157 zip code in Iowa is home to two schools: MFL MarMac Middle School and McGregor Intermediate School, both part of the MFL MarMac Community School District. While the middle school stands out as a high-performing institution, the elementary school faces some challenges.

MFL MarMac Middle School consistently outperforms the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and placing it in the top 25% of Iowa middle schools. The school has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate and spends more per student than the elementary school, which may contribute to its strong academic outcomes.

In contrast, McGregor Intermediate School has lower test scores and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, placing it in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools. The school also has a higher chronic absenteeism rate and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may be factors in its lower performance compared to the middle school.
