Summary:

The 52640 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Morning Sun Elementary School, which serves students from the Morning Sun Community School District. This standout school ranks in the top third of Iowa elementary schools and demonstrates strong academic performance, particularly in 4th and 6th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Morning Sun Elementary School outperforms the state average on ISASP tests in many grade levels and subject areas, indicating a commitment to supporting student learning and achievement. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is higher than the state's target of 10%, suggesting an area for potential improvement. Additionally, with 39.37% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school may need to ensure equitable access to educational resources and support for economically disadvantaged students.

Despite these challenges, Morning Sun Elementary School stands out with its lower-than-average student-teacher ratio of 11.8 and higher-than-average spending per student of $15,442, which could contribute to its strong academic performance. While the school's 3rd grade test scores lag behind the state average, the overall data suggests Morning Sun Elementary School is a high-performing institution dedicated to providing quality education to its students.
