2024-2025 Annual Progress Report

The Iowa Department of Education releases the APRs annually to provide an overview of how schools are performing in the state. The reports include: 

  • Student achievement data 
  • Academic goals 
  • Other success indicators 
  • Scores and ratings on accountability measures, such as student growth and graduation rate 
  • Information about schools that need additional support and improvement 

The APRs are based on data from the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) and the Conditions for Learning survey. 

The APRs help meet federal and state requirements for publishing report cards. They also show how schools are performing on multiple measures.

The rating categories for school performance include:

  • Exceptional 
  • High Performing 
  • Commendable 
  • Acceptable 
  • Needs Improvement 
  • Priority 
Mission Statement: “Learning, Thriving, Belonging”

Motto: “Comets, it’s time to shine!”

At United Community, we follow the Responsive Classroom Core Belief:
In order to be successful in and out of school, students need to learn a set of social and emotional competencies—cooperation, assertiveness, responsibility, empathy, and self-control—and a set of academic competencies—academic mindset, perseverance, learning strategies, and academic behaviors.
