Summary:
The Black Hawk School District has only one high school, Black Hawk High, serving grades 9-12. The school's performance has declined in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 229 out of 415 schools in 2022-2023 to 386 out of 431 schools in 2023-2024, earning it a 1-star rating.
Academically, Black Hawk High has shown mixed results, with proficiency rates that are lower than the state averages in some subjects, such as Mathematics, but higher in others like Social Studies and Science. The school's four-year graduation rate is relatively high at 96.0%, but its chronic absenteeism rate of 12.4% is a concern. Despite spending $18,064 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's academic performance has not translated into consistently strong outcomes.
Overall, the data suggests that Black Hawk High is facing challenges, with a declining statewide ranking and mixed academic performance. While the school's high graduation rate is a positive, the elevated chronic absenteeism rate and relatively low proficiency rates in some subjects indicate areas for potential improvement. Further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of these trends and identify strategies to support the school's academic success.
