Summary:
The Bennett Community School District in Iowa has only one elementary school, Bennett Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 6th grade. The school has a total enrollment of 86 students and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.7 to 1.
Academically, Bennett Elementary School's performance is mixed compared to state averages in Iowa. In the 2023-2024 school year, 5th-grade students performed better than the state average in English Language Arts and Science, but lower in Mathematics. In the 2022-2023 school year, 4th-grade students performed below the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while 6th-grade students performed better in Mathematics but slightly lower in English Language Arts. The school district's per-student spending is significantly higher than the state average, but the school has a relatively high percentage of students (43.02%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
Overall, the data provides a snapshot of Bennett Elementary School's performance and characteristics, but further analysis and comparison to other schools or districts would be needed to draw more comprehensive conclusions about the school's strengths, challenges, and areas for improvement. The school's academic performance appears to be mixed, and the district's high per-student spending suggests a focus on investing resources in student education, though the impact of this investment is not clear from the available information.
