Best Public Schools in Zip Code 67901

Summary:

The 67901 zip code area in Liberal, Liberal school district, is home to 8 schools serving students from elementary through high school. While the area has some standout performers, the overall academic achievement across the schools is concerning, with most students performing well below state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Sunflower Elementary School and Prairie View Elementary School are the top-performing schools in the area, with significantly higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math compared to their peers. In contrast, Seymour Rogers Middle School and Eisenhower Middle School have the lowest proficiency rates, with less than 10% of students meeting standards in core subjects.

The data reveals a strong correlation between poverty and academic performance, with the schools serving the highest percentages of economically disadvantaged students also posting the lowest test scores. Additionally, the analysis suggests that higher per-student spending does not necessarily translate to better outcomes, raising questions about resource allocation and utilization within the district. Overall, the Liberal school district faces significant challenges in improving educational outcomes for students in the 67901 zip code area.
