Best Public Schools in Zip Code 50521


Summary:

The zip code 50521 contains only one school, Southeast Valley Middle School, a public middle school serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 324 students. The school's academic performance is a mixed bag, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science generally below the state average. The school's statewide ranking and rating have fluctuated over the past three years, indicating inconsistent performance.

While the school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 42.59% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, this factor alone does not fully explain the school's academic challenges. The school's spending per student is $12,172, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 17.5 to 1, which are not significantly different from state averages. The school's performance suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes across all grade levels and subject areas.

Overall, Southeast Valley Community School District, of which Southeast Valley Middle School is a part, faces some challenges in ensuring its students receive a high-quality education. The district and the school leadership should work together to identify the root causes of the academic performance issues and develop a comprehensive plan to address them, with a focus on improving instructional practices, providing targeted support for struggling students, and fostering a positive learning environment for all.
