Summary:
The Moravia Community School District in Iowa consists of two schools: Moravia High School and Moravia Elementary School. While both schools serve the same community, the data reveals a significant performance gap, with the elementary school outperforming the high school across several key metrics.
Moravia Elementary School appears to be the stronger performing school, with a higher statewide ranking, a better star rating from SchoolDigger, and stronger academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to Moravia High School and the state averages. The elementary school also has a higher 5th-grade science proficiency rate than the state average.
While both schools have a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the high school spends more per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio than the elementary school. These resource differences may contribute to the performance gap observed between the two schools. The Moravia Community School District should closely examine the factors driving this disparity and implement targeted strategies to improve outcomes at the high school level.
