Summary:
The 62351 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Cusd 4 school district. While the schools face some challenges, Unity Middle School stands out as the strongest performer, with consistently high English Language Arts and science scores, as well as relatively low chronic absenteeism. In contrast, Unity Elementary School struggles with academic performance, with only about a quarter of students proficient in ELA and math.
Unity High School has an impressive 86.0% four-year graduation rate, outperforming the state average, and a relatively low 3.8% dropout rate. However, the school's SAT performance is below the state average, with only 25.6% of students proficient or better in both math and ELA. Across the schools, there is a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 33.56% at Unity Elementary to 42.39% at Unity Middle.
The data suggests an imbalance in resource allocation, with higher spending per student at the high school level compared to the elementary and middle school levels. This, combined with the community's socioeconomic challenges, may be contributing factors to the disparities in academic performance across the schools. Further analysis and targeted interventions could help address these issues and ensure all students in the 62351 zip code area receive a high-quality education.
