Seymour Community School District

The Seymour Community School District in Iowa operates two schools: Seymour High School and Seymour Elementary School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, with both institutions ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state.

Seymour High School has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 285 out of 338 Iowa high schools, while Seymour Elementary School has a 0-star rating and ranks 520 out of 574 Iowa elementary schools. Both schools have test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the schools have high free and reduced lunch rates, with Seymour High School at 52.27% and Seymour Elementary School at 71.43%, significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the higher spending per student at both schools, with Seymour High School spending $13,915 and Seymour Elementary School spending $16,871 per student, the academic performance remains below state averages. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving educational outcomes in the Seymour Community School District. The district may benefit from a comprehensive review of its educational strategies, resource allocation, and support for students and teachers to address the underlying issues and improve overall academic performance.
