Summary:

RRMR Elementary School is a public elementary school in Rockford, Iowa, serving 248 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Rudd-Rockford-Marble Rk Community School District. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with some strengths in math proficiency but lower English Language Arts (ELA) scores compared to state averages.

RRMR Elementary School's test scores have been variable, with 4th-grade math proficiency at 91.3%, significantly higher than the state average of 72.7%. However, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency rate was 50%, compared to the state average of 64.2%. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 57.26%, suggesting it serves a disadvantaged population. Compared to nearby schools like Lincoln Elementary School and Jefferson Elementary School, RRMR Elementary School generally underperforms academically.

Over the years, RRMR Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined, from 193 out of 603 Iowa elementary schools in 2018-2019 to 379 out of 557 in 2023-2024. This is in contrast to the nearby Lincoln Elementary School, which has maintained a relatively stable ranking in the top 250-400 schools. Addressing the challenges faced by RRMR Elementary School, such as its high percentage of students from low-income families, may be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and outcomes for its students.

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.
