Summary:

The zip code 52746 is home to one exceptional elementary school, John Glenn Elementary School, which consistently outperforms the North Scott Community School District and the state of Iowa in academic achievement.

John Glenn Elementary School is a standout institution, ranking 75th out of 576 Iowa elementary schools and earning a 4 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are impressive, with a high percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 95.8% of 5th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the district average of 88.2% and the state average of 69.8%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in 2023-2024 is lower than the state average, indicating strong student engagement.

The school's success can be attributed to its robust educational program, as evidenced by its higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,734 in 2018-2019 and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 15.4 to 1. However, the relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 27.72% may suggest that the school serves a more affluent student population, raising questions about equity and access to high-quality education for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
