While the schools show a mix of academic performance, with some standout areas, they face significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student outcomes.
Columbus Community Junior High School stands out for its strong English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency, with 81% of 7th graders and 75.9% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better on the ISASP ELA assessment. The school also performs well in math, with 64.3% of 7th graders and 70.4% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better. In contrast, Columbus Community High School excels in 11th grade ELA, with 76% of students scoring proficient or better, exceeding the state average.
However, the data also reveals that all 3 schools in the 52738 zip code have high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 60.2% to 68.51%, indicating a relatively low-income student population. This socioeconomic challenge may be contributing to the academic performance gaps observed, particularly in math proficiency, which tends to lag behind the state averages across the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Addressing these underlying factors could be an important focus for the Columbus Community School District to improve educational outcomes for students in the 52738 zip code area.
