Summary:
The Oelwein Community School District in Iowa is home to a single high school, Oelwein High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance has been declining in recent years, with proficiency rates on state assessments consistently falling below the Iowa state averages across all subject areas and grade levels.
Oelwein High School has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and is ranked 293rd out of 338 Iowa high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, a drop from its previous rankings of 276th out of 332 schools in 2021-2022 and 290th out of 336 schools in 2022-2023. The school's student population is predominantly White (85.99%), with smaller percentages of Hispanic (6.69%), two or more races (5.73%), African American (0.96%), and Asian (0.64%) students. Additionally, a significant portion of the student body (45.54%) receives free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes, the academic challenges at Oelwein High School persist. The school's proficiency rates in ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests are consistently lower than the state averages, and the trend has been one of declining performance in recent years. These findings suggest that the school may be facing systemic issues that require further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes and overall school performance.
