Summary:
The Storm Lake Community School District in Iowa is home to two high schools: Storm Lake High School and St Lake/IA Cntrl/Buena Vista Early College High School. Both schools serve a diverse student population, but the district as a whole appears to be underperforming, with both high schools ranking in the bottom tier of Iowa high schools.
Storm Lake High School has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages, ranging from 40.6% to 62.3% proficient. Additionally, the school has a high rate of 62.55% free and reduced lunch recipients, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
The Early College High School does not have enough historical data to determine a ranking, but its test scores and other metrics are also below state averages. However, this school has a much lower rate of free and reduced lunch recipients at 12.96%, indicating a different demographic makeup compared to Storm Lake High School. The funding per student also varies between the two schools, with Storm Lake High School receiving slightly more funding, but this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.
