The 2025 Iowa School Performance Profile has been released by the Iowa Department of Education. Cardinal saw strong growth in the 2025 results — a testament to the efforts of our students, the quality of our curriculum, instruction and assessment, the strength of our teachers and support staff, and the heights of our culture!

Elementary: Commendable
Middle School: Commendable
High School: Acceptable

Student performance earned higher ratings for the elementary and high school, with the high school only one subgroup away from increasing two rating levels in one year!

We look forward to celebrating even more growth throughout this year into next year's Profile results! For more information and to see prior year's results, visit the Iowa School Performance website.

Congratulations to our students and staff as we continue to grow in 2025-2026!

The future is us! WE ARE CARDINAL.

My real endorsement of Cardinal Schools and its faculty and staff can be seen each morning when I hand them the one irreplaceable and most valuable thing in my life: my kids. No letter I write could be a greater endorsement than that simple act. I give them my kids, and I do it with a huge smile on my face because I trust them to do what they are most outstanding at: building our future.
