Summary:
The 52551 zip code in Iowa is home to a single elementary school, the Van Buren County Community School District Douds Center. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 6th grade and is part of the Van Buren County Community School District.
The Van Buren County Community School District Douds Center has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools over the past three years, with a 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on the ISASP exams is mixed, with strengths in mathematics and science but weaknesses in English Language Arts compared to state averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high-need student population.
Despite the school's below-average performance, it does have some resource advantages, including a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is a concern and suggests that additional interventions or strategies may be needed to improve student outcomes. Overall, the Van Buren County Community School District Douds Center faces challenges in academic performance and serving a high-need student population, but the district's resource allocation suggests a commitment to supporting the school's improvement.
