Summary:
The 66966 zip code area is home to two schools - Pike Valley High School and Pike Valley Junior High School, both part of the Pike Valley school district. While the junior high school appears to be a standout performer, the high school struggles with significantly lower test scores compared to state averages.
Pike Valley Junior High School boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and outperforms the state averages in most subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 25% to 46.66%. In contrast, Pike Valley High School has a 1-star rating and struggles significantly, with proficiency rates ranging from 7.69% to 21.42%, well below the state averages.
Both schools have high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, at 48.08% for the high school and 50% for the junior high school, indicating that the student population may be facing socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the relatively high spending per student of $15,407 at both schools raises questions about the effective allocation of resources, particularly at the underperforming high school. The small school sizes, with the high school having just 52 students and the junior high having 30 students, may also present unique challenges and opportunities that warrant further exploration.
