Summary:
The Davis County Community School District in Iowa consists of 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual school). The data reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.
Davis County Elementary School stands out as having the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 48.33%, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage. The school's test scores are generally lower than the state averages, and its statewide ranking has declined over the past 3 years. In contrast, Davis County Community High School has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 38.48%, but its test scores are more mixed, with 9th-grade English Language Arts proficiency above the state average but lower than the state average in Math and Science for 10th and 11th grades.
The DC Online virtual high school stands out with a very small enrollment of only 19 students and the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 52.63%. While the district's schools generally perform below the state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency, the data highlights the need to address the underlying causes of these achievement gaps and provide additional support for economically disadvantaged students across the district.
