Summary:
The 66853 zip code is home to two schools, Hamilton High and Hamilton Elementary, both of which appear to be underperforming compared to state averages across several key metrics. The schools serve a predominantly White student population, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the area.
Hamilton High ranks 325 out of 327 Kansas high schools and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, while Hamilton Elementary's ranking has fluctuated over the years, from 122 out of 678 Kansas elementary schools (4 stars) in 2014-2015 to 385 out of 668 (2 stars) in 2012-2013. Both schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages.
Despite the relatively high spending per student at both schools, the data suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the schools' challenges. Targeted interventions and support, such as improving teaching quality, curriculum, and student support, may be necessary to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes in this area.
