Summary:
The 62870 zip code area is home to two schools - Odin Attendance Center K-8 (an elementary school) and Odin Attendance Center 9-12 (a high school). Both schools appear to be struggling, with low test scores, high chronic absenteeism rates, and poor statewide rankings compared to state averages.
The elementary school has significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the state, with only 7.7% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA in 2023-2024 versus the state average of 30.6%. The high school fares even worse, with 0% proficiency in 11th grade Math and only 4.3% proficiency in 11th grade ELA. Both schools also have very high chronic absenteeism rates, with the elementary school at 22.5% and the high school at 29.3%, well above the state average.
Despite higher-than-average spending per student at both schools, the academic performance remains poor. This suggests that the students in this area may be facing significant challenges that are impacting their learning, such as high poverty levels, as indicated by the very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (94.94% at the elementary school and 87.84% at the high school). The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes in this Odin PSD 722 school district.
