Summary:
The 67869 zip code has only one school, Plains Elementary, which serves grades 3-5 and is part of the Kismet-Plains school district. With a total enrollment of 122 students, Plains Elementary is significantly underperforming compared to state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency across all grade levels.
The school's academic performance is also below the district averages in most subject areas, indicating that the broader Kismet-Plains district is facing challenges in student achievement. The high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (77.05%) suggests that Plains Elementary serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic challenges. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8 to 1 and high spending per student ($14,238), the school's performance does not seem to be improving.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Plains Elementary's academic performance, which is significantly below state and district averages. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to this underperformance, such as the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population, should be a priority for the school and district leadership.
