Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63744

Summary:

The 63744 zip code area is home to two schools - Delta High and Delta Elementary, both part of the Delta R-V school district. While these schools serve the local community, they face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for their students.

Delta High is the only high school in the area, with a small enrollment of 119 students. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, and its test scores are generally below the state average. However, Delta High boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate. Conversely, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6%, which may be contributing to its academic challenges.

Delta Elementary, the sole elementary school in the 63744 zip code, also faces similar issues. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, and its test scores are below the state average in subjects like Math, Science, and English Language Arts. Like Delta High, Delta Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6%. Both schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with over 50% of their students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
