While Walcott Elementary's performance is mixed compared to state averages, it generally outperforms its district on academic measures, particularly in math and science. However, the school faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and lower-than-average English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates.
Walcott Elementary School has 189 students and a student-teacher ratio of 15.8, which is lower than the state average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 317 out of 557 Iowa elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 342 out of 576 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 2-star rating. While the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency of 57.6% trails the state average of 67.9%, its 4th-grade ELA proficiency of 75% exceeds the state's 76%. Similarly, 5th-grade math and science proficiency rates at Walcott Elementary are significantly higher than the district averages, at 78.6% compared to 50.4% and 49.9%, respectively.
One area of concern for Walcott Elementary is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in 2023-2024, which may be impacting academic performance. Additionally, the school serves a higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 51.85%, suggesting it serves a lower-income population. Overall, Walcott Elementary School appears to be a relatively average-performing school within the state, with some areas of strength but also room for improvement, particularly in addressing chronic absenteeism and ELA proficiency.
