Summary:
The 85939 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. The data reveals that the two traditional public schools, Taylor Elementary School and Taylor Intermediate School, generally outperform the public charter high school, Northern AZ Academy for Career Dev. - Taylor, in terms of test scores and graduation rates. While the charter school spends significantly more per student, this higher spending does not translate into better academic outcomes.
The two traditional public schools serve a predominantly white student population, with relatively low percentages of minority students. They also have lower rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch compared to the charter school, which has an exceptionally high rate of 95.59%. The student-teacher ratios are relatively low at the public schools, which could be a contributing factor to their stronger academic performance.
Overall, the schools in the 85939 zip code area present a mixed picture, with the traditional public schools outperforming the public charter school in key metrics. The data suggests that the schools in this area face economic challenges, as evidenced by the high rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients, particularly at the charter school. These insights provide a valuable snapshot of the educational landscape in the 85939 zip code area for parents and stakeholders to consider.
