Our motto shows the value placed on a quality education program that aims to provide success for every student. Over 98% of Oelwein students graduate and over 87% go on the post-secondary education.
Both public and private schools consistently rank high in science, academics, sports, music and other disciplines and have received many state and several national awards. 27% of high school students take post-secondary classes at the NICC classrooms right next door. 80% of juniors take the ACT with the group average score exceeding Iowa composite scores and well above national scores. Over 80% of students participate in extra-curricular activities.
National recognition - An Oelwein math program was recognized nationally in the Weekly Reader this year. Fourth grade teacher Terry Rex is a leader in using the technically advanced Classroom Performance System (CPS) to teach his students math interactively using a large screen and remote-control clickers.
