Summary:
The 62047 zip code area is home to two schools - Calhoun Elementary/Junior High School and Calhoun High School, both part of the Calhoun CUSD 40 district. While the elementary/junior high school has earned a 4-star rating and outperformed the state in science proficiency, the high school faces challenges with lower SAT performance compared to state averages.
Calhoun Elementary/Junior High School stands out for its strong science performance, with a 62.9% proficiency rate exceeding the state average. However, the school has mixed results in English Language Arts and math, with some grade levels meeting or exceeding state averages while others lag behind. In contrast, Calhoun High School maintains a respectable 73.7% four-year graduation rate but struggles with lower SAT math and ELA proficiency compared to the state.
Both schools face challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with high free/reduced lunch rates and chronic absenteeism. While the per-student spending levels are not exceptionally low, the academic performance gaps suggest a need for further investment and targeted interventions to support student achievement and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 62047 zip code area.
