Easton Valley Junior High / High School

Summary:

Easton Valley Junior High / High School is a public school located in Preston, Iowa, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 211 students. The school is part of the Easton Valley Community School District, which is ranked 249 out of 309 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Easton Valley Junior High / High School has mixed performance on the ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests compared to the state averages. While some grade levels perform above the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, others fall below, particularly in Science. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 65 out of 327 Iowa high schools in 2018-2019 to a low of 262 out of 336 in 2022-2023, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Additionally, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 30.7% to 36.15% over the past three school years.

The significant decline in Easton Valley Junior High / High School's statewide ranking is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation. The school's inconsistent academic performance across grade levels and subject areas suggests a need for a more comprehensive review of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to ensure more consistent and equitable student outcomes. With a per-student spending of $16,207 in 2018-2019, the school appears to have a relatively high level of funding compared to the nearby schools, such as Camanche High School, Clinton High School, and Central DeWitt High School, but the school's performance metrics suggest that resources may not be optimized to support student achievement effectively.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
