Summary:
The 62301 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across these schools, with Central 3-4 Middle School standing out as a high-performing institution, while Quincy Senior High School and Quincy Junior High School lag behind in test scores and graduation rates.
The data also reveals high levels of economic need across the district, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 41.82% at Central 3-4 Middle School to 76.66% at Early Childhood. This suggests that the community faces significant challenges, which may contribute to the attendance and academic performance issues observed, particularly at the high school level where chronic absenteeism rates are as high as 40.8%.
The variation in per-student spending, from $10,984 at Quincy Senior High School to $21,414 at Early Childhood, raises questions about the allocation of resources and the impact of funding on student outcomes. Addressing these disparities and implementing targeted strategies to support student success across all schools in the Quincy School District 172 and Central CUSD 3 should be a priority for the district leadership.
