Summary:
The 52403 zip code in Iowa is home to a single high school, George Washington High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. Based on the available data, this school appears to be struggling, ranking 267 out of 340 Iowa high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a low 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
George Washington High School's performance is below the state and district averages across multiple subjects and grade levels on standardized tests. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.3% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is relatively high. Additionally, nearly half (48.66%) of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16 students per teacher, which could be an asset in providing more individualized attention and support to students. However, the school's consistently low performance and the need to address areas such as academic achievement, attendance, and socioeconomic factors suggest that Cedar Rapids Community School District may need to prioritize improvements at George Washington High School to better serve the community.
