Summary:
The 52777 zip code area is home to a single public high school, Calamus-Wheatland Sec Attendance Center, which serves grades 7-12 and is part of the Calamus-Wheatland Community School District. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it has shown signs of improvement, with a projected statewide ranking of 121 out of 340 Iowa high schools for the 2024-2025 school year.
Calamus-Wheatland Sec Attendance Center consistently outperforms the state average on ISASP English Language Arts assessments, with 10th and 11th graders scoring significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% in 2023-2024 is an area of concern that may impact student learning and achievement. The school's spending per student and student-teacher ratio are both better than the state averages, which could contribute to the school's academic performance.
With nearly 30% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the school may need to consider strategies to address the needs of its economically disadvantaged population. Overall, Calamus-Wheatland Sec Attendance Center appears to be a relatively strong-performing high school, with room for improvement in areas like chronic absenteeism and supporting its economically disadvantaged students. The school's academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, is a notable strength.
