Summary:
The 62920 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Cobden SUD 17 school district. While the schools show some strengths, such as Cobden Elementary performing well on science assessments and Cobden High maintaining a relatively high graduation rate, they also face challenges, particularly in mathematics proficiency across all grade levels.
Cobden Elementary and Cobden Junior High struggle with low math proficiency rates, well below the state averages. In contrast, Cobden High performs better on science assessments but lags behind in SAT proficiency for both English language arts and mathematics. The data also reveals significant disparities in student performance, with some schools performing better in certain subjects than others.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are relatively high, ranging from 12.1% to 12.7%, which can impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the schools serve student populations with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, as evidenced by the wide range in free and reduced-price lunch recipients, from 7.53% at Cobden Junior High to 71.09% at Cobden Elementary. These factors likely contribute to the observed differences in student performance and may require targeted interventions and resource allocation to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 62920 zip code area.
