Summary:
The 64730 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 2 high schools, but no middle schools or alternative schools. The data reveals a stark contrast in the performance of these schools, with Butler High and Butler Elementary generally underperforming compared to state averages, while Ballard High stands out with an exceptional 100% four-year graduation rate.
Ballard High has a very low student-teacher ratio of 5.8, indicating a high level of individual attention for students. However, the school has relatively low test scores, with only 31.3% of students proficient in Algebra I and 17.8% proficient in Biology I, compared to the state averages of 41.5% and 37.4%, respectively. In contrast, Butler Elementary has strong performance in English Language Arts and 5th-grade Science, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages.
The high free and reduced lunch rates at Butler Elementary, Ballard Elementary, and Ballard High suggest that these schools serve a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to their academic challenges. Additionally, the limited data available for the Ballard schools makes it difficult to draw a complete picture of their performance and characteristics.
