IKM-Manning Community School District

The IKM-Manning Community School District consists of 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school, serving students from pre-K through 12th grade. The district appears to be performing well overall, with the IKM-Manning Middle School standing out as the top performer in the district.

The IKM-Manning Middle School has consistently ranked in the top 20% of Iowa middle schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly above the state averages across all grade levels and subjects, with 80-90% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math. Additionally, the school has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 35.21%, indicating a relatively affluent student population. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 19.7 is higher than the 13.3 ratio at the Irwin Elementary School.

While the IKM-Manning schools perform well academically, the district serves a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 35.21% at the middle school to 39.29% at the IKM-Manning High School. Additionally, the schools have a predominantly white student population, with over 90% of students identifying as white. The district may want to explore ways to address these disparities and ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities for all students.
