Iowa School Report Card grades area schools on effectiveness

AREA SCHOOLS – Just two years ago, the Iowa Department of Education rolled out an innovative, new program – Iowa School Report Card – that uses a wealth of data to assess the performance of each educational facility in Iowa. This year’s grades are in, and while all of the schools serving the county received at least an acceptable rating, just two buildings in the county were graded as “high performing.”
BCLUW High School and Dike Elementary School received the highest rankings in the county, both being graded “high performing.”
Dike Elementary School received the highest overall rating of any center in the county at 75.8 points, improving from last year’s score of 70.4 score. Its proficiency rating was 89 percent, and only about 12 percent of elementary schools in the state received the high performing rating. 
For the full story, including a detailed analysis of each school's rating, see the January 19 edition of The Grundy Register.
