Summary:
The 60545 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area generally perform below the state averages on standardized tests, a few standout schools emerge from the data.
Plano High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 93.5% and a low dropout rate of 2%, but its test scores are below the state average, and it struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.1%. In contrast, Emily G Johns School performs relatively well on the IAR English Language Arts assessment, but it lags behind in math. Meanwhile, Centennial Elementary School has very low proficiency rates on the IAR assessments, significantly below the district and state averages.
The schools in the 60545 zip code serve a population with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, ranging from 56.38% at Plano High School to 67.48% at Centennial Elementary School. This suggests that the area has a significant population of students from low-income families, which may contribute to the academic challenges faced by some of the schools. Addressing issues like chronic absenteeism and improving instructional practices may be key to improving student outcomes in this Plano CUSD 88 district.
