Summary:
The zip code 52722 contains a single middle school, Bettendorf Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Bettendorf Community School District. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 2-star rating in the following two school years, indicating a potential decline in performance compared to other middle schools in Iowa.
Academically, Bettendorf Middle School's proficiency rates in ISASP tests are generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, with some exceptions. For instance, 8th-grade mathematics proficiency is significantly higher than the state average, while 6th-grade English Language Arts proficiency is lower. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% is relatively high, and its free/reduced lunch rate of 34.34% suggests a sizable population of economically disadvantaged students, which may have implications for the school's resources and support systems.
Despite these challenges, Bettendorf Middle School's spending per student of $11,825 is in line with the state's average, and the student-teacher ratio of 14.7 is within a reasonable range. The school's performance and areas for improvement warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure its continued growth and success in serving the educational needs of the local community.
