Summary:
The Estherville Lincoln Central Com School District has only one elementary school, Demoney Elementary, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 493 students.
Demoney Elementary has a diverse student population, with 64.91% White and 29.21% Hispanic students. The school has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 54.56%, indicating a significant economically disadvantaged student population. Academically, Demoney Elementary's test scores are generally below the state averages, particularly in 3rd grade, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, with a consistent 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the academic challenges, Demoney Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 and higher-than-average spending per student of $13,659, suggesting a focus on smaller class sizes and additional resources. The analysis highlights the need for the school to address the academic performance gaps, particularly in the earlier grades, to improve the school's overall standing and provide better educational outcomes for its diverse student population.
