Schleswig Elementary School

Q: Is Schleswig Elementary School a good school?

Schleswig Elementary School ranks 96 th of 557 Iowa elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Schleswig Elementary School is a small public elementary school serving grades K-4 in the Schleswig Community School District in Schleswig, Iowa. With just 69 students, the school consistently performs above the state average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP).

Schleswig Elementary has maintained a strong statewide ranking, placing in the top 20% of Iowa elementary schools in recent years. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school ranked 96th out of 557 Iowa elementary schools, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. This high performance is likely due to the school's low student-teacher ratio, which has ranged from 8.9 to 11.7 students per teacher over the past three school years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment for students.

When compared to nearby schools, Schleswig Elementary stands out. The highest-ranked nearby school, Ar-We-Va Elementary Community School, has similar academic performance but a higher student-teacher ratio of 16.6. Other nearby schools, such as Mapleton Elementary School and the Odebolt-Arthur-Battle Creek-Ida Grove schools, have lower academic proficiency rates in some grade levels compared to Schleswig. The Denison Community School District, which includes the more diverse Broadway Elementary and Denison Elementary schools, has lower academic performance and a higher percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch compared to Schleswig.

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.
