Summary:
The Oelwein Community School District in Iowa is home to two elementary schools: Wings Park Elementary School and Little Husky Learning Center. Both schools appear to be underperforming compared to the state average, with consistently low rankings and test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.
Wings Park Elementary School has ranked in the bottom half of Iowa elementary schools over the past three years, while Little Husky Learning Center does not have available statewide ranking information. Both schools have significantly lower test scores than the state average, with Wings Park Elementary School's 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency at 51.8% compared to the state average of 64.2%. The district also faces socioeconomic challenges, with Wings Park Elementary School having a high free and reduced lunch rate of 64.35% and Little Husky Learning Center at 47.57%.
While the schools have similar racial demographics, with a predominantly white student population, the difference in spending per student between the two schools, $14,020 at Wings Park Elementary School and $11,663 at Little Husky Learning Center, could be an area for further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation across the district. Addressing the underlying factors, such as socioeconomic disparities and instructional practices, may be crucial in improving the academic performance and outcomes for the students in the Oelwein Community School District.
