Summary:
The 67009 zip code in Kansas is home to two public schools: Puls Elementary and Attica High, both of which serve the Attica school district. While the schools have access to adequate resources, their academic performance has been declining in recent years, with both schools consistently underperforming the state average on standardized tests.
Puls Elementary is the only elementary school in the 67009 zip code and has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 267 out of 653 Kansas elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 622 out of 668 in 2021-2022. The school's proficiency rates on standardized tests range from as low as 5.88% to 61.53% across different grade levels and subject areas, well below the state average. In contrast, Attica High School has a slightly higher performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.76% to 23.07%, but it too has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, going from 260 out of 327 Kansas high schools in 2022-2023 to 274 out of 324 in 2021-2022.
The data suggests that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the schools' performance, as Puls Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (67.72%) compared to Attica High School (45.28%). Despite the higher per-student spending at both schools, the academic outcomes indicate a need for further investigation into the effective use of resources and the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement.
