Summary:
The 95565 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Stanwood A. Murphy Elementary, which serves grades K-8 with a total enrollment of 182 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with a significant percentage of students identifying as two or more races and Hispanic. While the school performs relatively well in science, its English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics proficiency rates are below the state average in many grade levels.
Stanwood A. Murphy Elementary faces several challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (72.53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past three years, suggesting a potential decline in overall performance relative to other schools in the state.
Despite these challenges, the school's student-teacher ratio of 19.2 is slightly higher than the state average, which may provide opportunities for more personalized attention and support for students. However, the uneven academic performance across different subject areas and grade levels, as well as the high chronic absenteeism rate, are areas that warrant further investigation and potential intervention to improve the school's overall performance and outcomes.
