Summary:
The 52803 zip code in Davenport, Iowa is home to a single middle school, Sudlow Intermediate, which serves grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 503 students. Sudlow Intermediate is part of the Davenport Community School District, which is ranked 297 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Sudlow Intermediate's academic performance, as measured by ISASP test scores, is generally below the state average across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the percentage of 8th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts was 64.8%, compared to the state average of 80.2%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 51.89% in 2023-2024 and a chronic absenteeism rate of 21.6% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $12,362 for the 2018-2019 school year and a lower-than-average student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1, Sudlow Intermediate's statewide ranking has declined over the past three school years, going from 287 out of 334 Iowa middle schools in 2022-2023 to 307 out of 344 in 2024-2025, with a consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the school may face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and further investigation into the root causes of its struggles and the implementation of targeted interventions may be necessary to support student success.
