Best Public Schools in Zip Code 50054

Summary:

The 50054 zip code in Iowa is home to two schools, Colfax-Mingo Elementary School and Colfax-Mingo Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Colfax-Mingo Community School District. The district as a whole is ranked 220 out of 309 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Colfax-Mingo Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, going from 217th out of 574 Iowa elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 336th out of 557 in 2023-2024, though it maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Colfax-Mingo Junior/Senior High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Iowa high schools, ranking 241st out of 338 in 2023-2024 and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Both schools perform below the state average in ISASP (Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress) tests, with the exception of a few grade levels. The schools have a relatively high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating a lower socioeconomic status of the student population. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, this does not seem to translate into better academic performance for the schools. Overall, the data suggests that the Colfax-Mingo Community School District faces challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and further investigation and potential interventions may be needed to improve student outcomes.
