Mapleton Elementary School

Summary:

Mapleton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 169 students in grades PK-5 in the Maple Valley-Anthon Oto Community School District in Mapleton, Iowa. The school has demonstrated strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics, with high proficiency rates across multiple grade levels.

Mapleton Elementary School's academic excellence is evident in its performance on the ISASP assessments. In the 2023-2024 school year, 91.7% of 3rd graders, 75% of 4th graders, and 82.6% of 5th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, outperforming both the district and state averages. The school also performed well in English Language Arts, with 82.6% of 5th graders proficient or better. This consistent academic performance across grade levels and subject areas suggests a well-rounded and effective educational program. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has shown improvement in recent years, with the school earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the 2023-2024 school year, ranking 162 out of 557 Iowa elementary schools.

Mapleton Elementary School's student-teacher ratio of 10.1 students per teacher is lower than nearby Whiting Elementary School (10.1) and West Monona Elementary (14.3), which may contribute to the school's academic success. However, the school serves a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, with 59.17% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, compared to nearby schools like Schleswig Elementary (43.48%) and Anthon Elementary (43.08%). This suggests that Mapleton Elementary may need to allocate additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its student population.

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.
