Summary:

The 57481 zip code area is home to two small elementary schools, Long Lake Colony Elementary - 05 and Grassland Colony Elementary - 06, both part of the Leola School District 44-2. These schools have unique challenges and opportunities due to their very small enrollments of 27 and 15 students, respectively.

Both schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates of 20.2%, well above the state average. Their academic performance on standardized tests is mixed, with Long Lake Colony Elementary showing some strong results, like 100% proficiency in 3rd and 7th grade ELA, while Grassland Colony Elementary has 0% proficiency in 3rd and 4th grade ELA. These uneven outcomes suggest the need for closer examination of curriculum, instruction, and support systems to ensure more consistent and equitable academic achievement.

The schools also serve predominantly low-income communities, with Long Lake Colony Elementary having an 88.89% free/reduced lunch rate. This socioeconomic factor likely impacts a range of issues, from attendance to academic performance, and should be considered when developing targeted interventions and support for these small, rural elementary schools.
