Summary:
The Iola-Scandinavia School District has one elementary school, Iola-Scandinavia Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 and has a total enrollment of 278 students. While the school is not a standout performer in the state, with a 2-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, it does have some positive indicators, such as a low chronic absenteeism rate and a relatively low student-teacher ratio.
Academically, Iola-Scandinavia Elementary's performance is mixed, with test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics generally below the state average, though there are some exceptions, such as above-average proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade ELA. The school's performance in Social Studies and Science is also varied, with 4th grade Social Studies proficiency above the state average but 4th grade Science proficiency below. This inconsistent academic performance suggests a need for more targeted instructional strategies and interventions to improve student outcomes.
Despite these academic challenges, the school has a relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 35.61%, indicating that the school may not face significant socioeconomic challenges. With a focus on addressing the areas of weakness in Mathematics and certain grade levels of English Language Arts, Iola-Scandinavia Elementary has the potential to improve its overall performance and ranking within the state.
