Denison Community School District

The Denison Community School District in Iowa consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from preschool through 12th grade. The district demonstrates a mix of strong-performing and potentially challenged schools, with notable standouts at the high school and middle school levels.

Denison High School and Denison Middle School consistently rank in the top half of Iowa schools in their respective categories, with Denison High School outperforming the state average in ISASP assessments across multiple grade levels. In contrast, Denison Elementary School lags behind the state average in 3rd-grade ISASP scores, particularly in English Language Arts, suggesting potential areas for improvement.

The district's schools serve a relatively diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation ranging from 61.83% at Denison High School to 63.76% at Denison Elementary School. The district's commitment to equitable resource allocation is evident in the consistent per-student spending across the schools, though the variation in student-teacher ratios may warrant further analysis to ensure optimal support for all students.
