Audubon’s public schools outscore 70% of Iowa districts

The grade covers the public school district serving Audubon, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests. On the state math tests, 72% of Audubon’s students scored proficient, above the Iowa average (64%). Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Iowa, not nationally.
