Summary:
The 67203 zip code area of Wichita, Kansas is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high free/reduced lunch rates, some schools stand out as performing significantly better than others.
Riverside Leadership Magnet Elementary and Black Traditional Magnet Elementary are the top-performing schools in the area, with much higher proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the other elementary schools. O K Elementary also performs well above average. In contrast, the middle school (Marshall Middle School) and high school (North High) in the area struggle to meet state and district averages.
The data suggests that the magnet school model may be an effective approach, as the magnet schools outperform the traditional public schools in the 67203 zip code. However, the wide disparities in performance and the high poverty rates across the schools indicate that the Wichita district faces significant challenges in providing equitable, high-quality education to all students in this area.
