Each year the State of Iowa releases the Iowa School Performance Profile (link to profiles) ratings for each public school in Iowa. Scores are arrived at with a scoring formula that takes into account: chronic absenteeism, state testing participation, attendance growth year over year, proficiency on Math and English/Language Arts, and year over year growth in Math and English/Language Arts. The high school has a few additional variables like percentage of students earning college credits while in high school, percentage of students earning an Industry Recognized Credential while in high school and our 4- and 5-year graduation rates.

Because the MMCRU Remsen Elementary did not have enough variables to calculate a valid index score, the index score given to MMCRU Remsen Elementary was mapped from the average index score from the MMCRU Middle School.
Overall, all of our buildings were well above the state average in almost all categories.

We are very proud of our students and staff at MMCRU. Thank you to our families for your continued support in making MMCRU a great place.
