Summary:
The Newell-Fonda Community School District in Iowa is home to a single middle school, Newell-Fonda Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. This middle school stands out for its consistently high academic performance, with test scores exceeding the state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
Newell-Fonda Middle School's ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) test scores are particularly impressive, with the school's 6th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate reaching 85.7% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the state average of 74.5%. Additionally, the school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,004, which is higher than the state average, potentially contributing to its academic success.
While the school's student population is predominantly white (78.86%), it also has a relatively diverse student body, with 9.76% Hispanic students and 6.5% students of two or more races. However, the school's ranking and rating from the SchoolDigger organization have fluctuated in recent years, and 41.46% of its students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. These factors suggest that the school may face challenges in maintaining its academic excellence and supporting the diverse needs of its student population.
