High Schools in Melcher-Dallas Community School District

The Melcher-Dallas Community School District in Iowa is home to a single high school, Melcher-Dallas High School, which serves students in grades 7-12. Based on the available data, Melcher-Dallas High School appears to be a relatively average-performing high school in the state, with some areas of concern and opportunities for improvement.

Melcher-Dallas High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 225 and 278 out of 332-338 high schools over the past three school years, and it is currently rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting the school is performing below average compared to other high schools in Iowa. The school's proficiency rates in ISASP English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state averages, indicating the students may be performing below the state's academic standards. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (33.99%) suggests the school may serve a population with lower socioeconomic status, which can impact academic performance.

Despite these challenges, Melcher-Dallas High School has a student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1, which is a relatively low ratio that could be beneficial for student learning. The school's administrators and educators may want to explore strategies to address the inconsistencies in its statewide ranking and overall academic performance, particularly in the areas of Mathematics and Science, where the school's proficiency rates are lagging behind the state averages.
