Summary:

Unity Point CCSD 140 has one listed school, Unity Point Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 8, with 620 students. Since it is the only school in the list, there are no other local schools to compare it with. In 2025–26, its clearest strength was English language arts (ELA): 69% of students were proficient, compared with 56% statewide, a 13-point advantage.

Unity Point Elementary School is both the highest- and lowest-scoring listed school by default; its grade-level results show where performance was strongest and where it lagged. ELA proficiency was above the state rate in all six tested grades, ranging from a 2-point advantage in grade 3 to 25 points in grade 6. Math results were more uneven: the school was 16 points above the state in grade 6, but 10 points below in grade 7 and 4 points below in grade 3. Overall math proficiency was 42%, just 3 points above the state’s 40%. Science proficiency was also above the state in grades 5 and 8, by 4 points and 1 point, respectively. Chronic absenteeism was lower than the state rate: 20% versus 24%, a 3-point difference.

ELA and math results improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26, though science moved in the opposite direction. ELA proficiency rose from 63% to 69%, and the school’s lead over the state widened by 3 points; math rose from 39% to 42%, with its lead widening by 2 points. Science proficiency fell 9 points in grade 5 and 5 points in grade 8, narrowing the school’s leads over the state to 4 points and 1 point. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile ranking declined from 72 in 2023–24 to 61 in 2025–26, and its rating went from 4 stars to 3. Other context: the student–teacher ratio was 11.9 in 2024–25, and 54% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. With only one listed school, these figures cannot support comparisons among local schools.
