Summary:

The three elementary schools in North Boone CUSD 200 serve grades 3 and 4; Capron Elementary School also serves prekindergarten, while the others begin in kindergarten. In 2025–2026, all three schools’ all-grades ELA and math results were above state results, but the school-to-school spread was much greater in math. The most important takeaway is that the area’s overall results are above the state, yet math performance varies notably by school.

Manchester Elementary School led both subjects, with 74% proficient in ELA and math—18 and 34 percentage points above the state, respectively. Its math result was 20 points higher than the average of the other two schools. Poplar Grove Elementary School had the lowest ELA result at 62%, though that was 6 points above the state; its 61% math result was in the middle. Capron had the lowest all-grades math result, 47%, still 7 points above the state, while its 64% ELA result was second-highest. The math results ranged 27 points across schools, compared with 12 points in ELA.

Group averages rose from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA increased 13 percentage points and math 8. The gains were uneven: Manchester rose 26 points in ELA and 15 in math, and Capron rose 18 and 8; Poplar Grove fell 5 points in ELA and was nearly unchanged in math. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 statewide rankings were 87 for Manchester, 70 for Poplar Grove and 58 for Capron; these are rankings, not test-score percentages. Context measures do not make a simple pattern: 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch eligible shares were 43% at Manchester, 45% at Poplar Grove and 51% at Capron, while student-teacher ratios were 13.2, 12.5 and 13.6, respectively. These figures describe the schools but do not explain their results.
