Summary:
The 71730 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 2 high schools. The data reveals stark contrasts in academic performance, with some standout schools like Hugh Goodwin Elementary School and Parkers Chapel Elementary School consistently outperforming the district and state averages, while others like Yocum Elementary School struggle with significantly lower proficiency rates across all subjects.
The data also highlights the critical role of middle schools in preparing students for high school. Barton Junior High School and Washington Middle School appear to be doing a relatively good job in maintaining proficiency rates, which could contribute to the stronger performance of El Dorado High School compared to some of the elementary schools. However, the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility at several schools suggest that poverty is a significant challenge in the area, which likely has a substantial impact on student learning and achievement.
Overall, the data provides a detailed snapshot of the schools in the 71730 zip code area, highlighting both the strengths and challenges faced by the local education system. While there are some high-performing schools in the area, such as Parkers Chapel High School, which stands out for its relatively high student-teacher ratio, there is a need to address the disparities in student outcomes and the impact of socioeconomic factors on academic achievement across the El Dorado School District and the Parkers Chapel School District.
