Summary:

The 52323 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Midland Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 198 students. Midland Elementary is part of the Midland Community School District, which is ranked 231 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Midland Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school, particularly in mathematics. The school has seen improvements in its statewide ranking, moving from 405th out of 565 Iowa elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 272nd out of 576 in 2024-2025. In 2024-2025, the school had impressive test scores, with 96.4% of 3rd graders, 70.7% of 4th graders, and 89.3% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better on the ISASP mathematics assessment, significantly higher than state averages. The school also performs well in English Language Arts and Science.

However, the school faces some challenges, including a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in 2023-2024 and a high percentage of students (43.43%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a significant level of economic need among the student population. The school's higher-than-average spending per student ($15,415 in 2018-2019) and lower student-teacher ratio (12.6 to 1) suggest that the school is investing resources in smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students, which could be contributing to its academic performance.
