Best Public Schools in Zip Code 42071

Summary:

The 42071 zip code area is home to 9 schools across two school districts - Calloway County and Murray Independent. This diverse set of schools includes 4 elementary, 2 middle, 3 high, and 1 alternative school, serving students from a range of backgrounds and economic needs.

Within this group, a few schools stand out. Murray Middle School and Murray High School, both part of the highly-ranked Murray Independent district, consistently achieve some of the highest test scores and graduation rates in the area. In contrast, schools like East Calloway Elementary and the Calloway County Alternative Program struggle academically, with lower proficiency levels and resources.

The data reveals a wide disparity in performance and funding across the schools, even within the same district. For example, North Calloway Elementary lags behind its counterpart Southwest Calloway Elementary in the Calloway County district. This suggests that factors beyond just district leadership, such as community demographics and resource allocation, play a significant role in shaping the academic outcomes of these schools.
