We are pleased to announce that Treynor CSD is rated as the highest school district in Southwest Iowa, according to the Iowa School Performance Profile (ISPP), with an overall rating of "High Performing". In addition, our elementary and middle schools were both rated "High Performing" while our high school earned the "Exceptional" designation. Notably, our high school has been the second-highest ranked high school in the state for two consecutive years. Furthermore, our elementary school has maintained a "High Performing" rating or higher for eight years running, and our middle school has earned its "High Performing" rating for five consecutive years.
The ISPP is an online tool developed by the Iowa Department of Education to provide a comprehensive overview of public school performance. Ratings are based on accountability measures required by the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and state law.
Congratulations to our teachers, students, and support staff for the hard work required to achieve these distinctions. Read more about the new district ratings in the official ISPP press release.
