Summary:
The IKM-Manning Community School District has one elementary school, Irwin Elementary School, which serves grades PK-3 with an enrollment of 230 students. While the school's spending per student is relatively high at $12,988, its academic performance has been declining, with a low statewide ranking of 561 out of 624 Iowa elementary schools in 2012-2013 and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Irwin Elementary School faces some challenges, including a high percentage of students (39.13%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantages within the student population. Additionally, the school's student population is predominantly white (94.35%), with limited racial diversity, which may limit the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience.
While the school's student-teacher ratio of 13.3 to 1 is relatively favorable, the overall data suggests that Irwin Elementary School may be struggling to meet the needs of its students and provide a high-quality education. Further investigation would be necessary to understand the root causes of the school's declining performance and develop strategies to address the challenges it faces.
