Best Public Schools in Zip Code 66710

Summary:

The 66710 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Altoona-Midway Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 66 students. While the school's performance has fluctuated over the years, with a statewide ranking ranging from 68th out of 653 Kansas elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 660th out of 668 in 2021-2022, its overall academic proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages.

However, there are some bright spots, such as the 5th grade proficiency rates in 2023-2024 and the 4th grade proficiency rates in 2022-2023 being higher than the state average. The school also has a high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, at 72.73% in 2022-2023, indicating a predominantly low-income student population. Despite the relatively high spending per student of $20,629 in 2018-2019, the school's small size, with a student-teacher ratio of 8.3 to 1, may present both advantages and challenges in providing a well-rounded educational experience.

Overall, the analysis of Altoona-Midway Elementary suggests the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the school's fluctuating performance and the strategies being employed to address the unique needs of its student population. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions may be necessary to ensure that all students at the school have access to a high-quality education.
