Summary:
The Mount Ayr High School is the sole high school serving the Mount Ayr Community School District in Iowa. This standout school consistently outperforms state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, with 92.9% of 10th-grade students scoring proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 73.8%. The school has maintained a strong ranking within Iowa, placing in the top 100 high schools for the past three years and ranking 50th out of 332 schools in the 2021-2022 school year.
Mount Ayr High School's academic excellence is further reflected in the high performance of its district, which is ranked 82nd out of 309 districts in Iowa and rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.1 to 1 and the district's relatively high spending of $18,104 per student suggest a commitment to providing adequate resources and support for the school and its students.
While the school's student population is predominantly white, further analysis would be needed to understand the school's efforts to promote diversity and inclusion. Additionally, the relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (46.26%) indicates the school may need to consider strategies to address potential socioeconomic challenges faced by its student population.
