Summary:
Maquoketa Valley Community School District is home to a single high school, Maquoketa Valley Senior High School, which consistently performs at a high level academically. The school is part of a district that ranks 16th out of 309 school districts in Iowa, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Maquoketa Valley Senior High School stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with students scoring well above the state average on ISASP tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across grades 9-11. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 10th-grade students achieved 92.6% proficiency in ELA, 83.3% in Mathematics, and 83.3% in Science, significantly outpacing the state averages of 73.8%, 66%, and 59.5%, respectively.
The school's strong academic results are supported by a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.9 and a high per-student spending of $16,346, which is above the state average. However, the school's student population is predominantly white, at 94.24%, which may warrant further examination of equity and inclusion efforts within the district.
