Summary:
The 62988 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Egyptian CUSD 5 school district. These schools face significant challenges, with consistently low academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a student population facing substantial socioeconomic difficulties.
Academically, the schools in this area struggle, with proficiency rates well below state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The Egyptian Elementary School has only 12.5% of 3rd graders proficient in English Language Arts and 0% proficient in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 30.6% and 33.8%. The Egyptian Junior High School fares similarly, with just 18.7% of students proficient in ELA and 3.1% in 6th grade Math. Even the Egyptian Senior High School, the best-performing of the three, has only 12% of 11th graders proficient in ELA and 4% in Math, well below state averages.
Chronic absenteeism is also a significant issue, with rates ranging from 24.1% at the middle school to 51.0% at the high school, far exceeding the state average. Additionally, the high school has a 76.9% four-year graduation rate and a 3.6% dropout rate, both of which are worse than state benchmarks. These challenges are likely exacerbated by the high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 97.01% at the middle school to 100% at the elementary and high schools, indicating that the student population faces substantial economic hardship.
