On the Iowa Test of Basic Skills in 2007, Immanuel Lutheran School students scored at the 95th percentile in science.  This means that only 5% of all schools in the nation scored higher than Immanuel in science.  Immanuel's composite score was the 94.3 %ile, which places Immanuel in the top 5 percent of all schools nationally.  Since Immanuel has no academic entrance requirements, students are not screened for their academic ability and achievement.  Immanuel's students perform well because of their desire to learn, parental support, and our teachers' commitment to excellence for each student. 

In all classes, Immanuel students placed two to three grade levels above the average student in their grade.

Immanuel Lutheran School is an important option for parents seeking as alternative to secular education and is committed to equipping students with a Christian perspective which enables them to understand and soar above the pressures of the secular culture.
