The 52632 zip code area is home to 5 schools in the Keokuk Community School District, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole appears to be underperforming, with all schools ranking in the bottom half of their respective categories in the state, there are some standout schools that are worth noting.
Keokuk High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa high schools, with below-average proficiency rates on state assessments. However, the school does have a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 88.3%. In contrast, Hawthorne Elementary School has performed better than the other schools in the district, ranking 175 out of 626 Iowa elementary schools and having higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages.
Across the district, there are some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which can contribute to the academic challenges faced by the schools. Addressing these issues, as well as understanding the factors that contribute to the variation in school performance, will be crucial for improving the outcomes for the schools in this area.
