Summary:
The North Iowa Community School District has one middle school, North Iowa Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school has a total enrollment of 107 students, with a racial makeup of 85.05% White and 14.95% Hispanic.
North Iowa Middle School's academic performance on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) is mixed, with 6th and 7th-grade students performing above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, while 8th-grade students performed below the state average in those subjects. However, 8th-grade students performed significantly below the state average in Science. The school's overall SchoolDigger rating is 2 out of 5 stars, with a statewide ranking that has fluctuated between 203 and 253 out of 337 Iowa middle schools over the past three years.
The school has a relatively high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 38.32%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,756, which is above the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.1, which is lower than the typical middle school ratio. These factors suggest that the district is allocating resources to support the school, but the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be translating into optimal student outcomes.
