Summary:
Moravia Community School District has only one elementary school, Moravia Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's academic performance is mixed, with 5th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics exceeding the state average, but 3rd and 4th-grade proficiency rates falling below the state average, particularly in ELA.
Moravia Elementary has a relatively small student population of 158 and a student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1, suggesting the school may have the resources to provide a quality education. However, the school's demographic makeup is predominantly white (96.84%), and over half of the students (53.8%) receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating potential challenges in providing a diverse and well-rounded educational experience.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, Moravia Elementary's spending per student of $11,986 is on par with the state average, and the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 156th out of 565 Iowa elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 318th out of 557 in 2023-2024. These factors suggest that Moravia Community School District may have the potential to improve the educational opportunities for its students, but further investigation and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the school's areas of concern.
