MFL MarMac Schools rate ‘Acceptable’ on annual School Report Card

MONONA — Attendance centers in the MFL MarMac Community School District rated ‘Acceptable’ across the board according to the annual Iowa School Report Card released last Wednesday.

 

All four of the district’s buildings had the same rating for the first time in the three-year history of the report card, which rates every public school building in the state. Schools are ranked at one of six levels, from Exceptional to Priority. Buildings with insufficient data are not rated.

 

Ratings at the elementary and high school buildings in Monona were up one category from a year ago (from ‘Needs Improvement’) while the district’s middle school (sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grades) in McGregor saw a steady rating and the intermediate (fourth- and fifth-grades) in McGregor, which is judged separately from the middle school, dropped from commendable to acceptable.

 

 

District Superintendent Dale Crozier said, while administrators look at the data in the survey, it is far from the only assessment they use to determine needs of the students.
