The Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Central School District in Iowa operates 4 schools, including 3 elementary schools (Eddyville Elementary, Fremont Elementary, and Blakesburg Elementary) and 1 junior/senior high school (Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Junior/Senior High).
Eddyville Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the district, ranking 181 out of 557 Iowa elementary schools and consistently achieving strong proficiency rates on standardized tests. Blakesburg Elementary has also shown improvement, moving from a 1-star to a 2-star rating and demonstrating impressive Mathematics proficiency. In contrast, the Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont Junior/Senior High school has consistently underperformed, ranking in the bottom half of Iowa high schools and lagging behind state averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.
The district's elementary schools exhibit varying levels of academic performance, with Fremont Elementary ranking in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools. This disparity within the district's elementary schools suggests the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the differences in academic achievement. Additionally, the schools with higher free/reduced lunch rates, such as Fremont Elementary and the junior/senior high school, tend to have lower academic performance, indicating a potential correlation between socioeconomic status and student outcomes that could inform targeted interventions and support.
