Summary:
The 80136 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the Strasburg School District 31J. The standout school in the area is Strasburg Elementary School, which has the largest enrollment and generally performs above the district and state averages on standardized tests, particularly in 5th grade English Language Arts and Math. The two high schools, Strasburg High School and Prairie Creek High School, have more diverse student populations, with a significant percentage of Hispanic students, but their academic performance is generally below the state averages.
Strasburg High School, the second-largest school in the area, has a student-teacher ratio of 18.7:1, the highest among the four schools. While it has a diverse student body, with 37.99% Hispanic and 4.22% two or more races, its performance on PSAT and SAT tests is below the district and state averages, particularly in Math. In contrast, Hemphill Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 15.4:1, but its test scores also lag behind the state averages.
The smallest school in the area, Prairie Creek High School, has only 13 students and a very low student-teacher ratio of 11:1. However, it has a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 38.46%, suggesting it may serve a more economically disadvantaged population. Unfortunately, due to its small size, the school does not have any statewide ranking or test score data available, making it difficult to assess its academic performance compared to the other schools in the area.
