Best Public Schools in Zip Code 64740


Summary:

The 64740 zip code area is home to two schools - Lakeland Elementary and Lakeland High, both part of the Lakeland R-III school district. Unfortunately, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state-wide averages, with both Lakeland Elementary and Lakeland High ranked below average and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, the schools struggle, with proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics and English Language Arts significantly lower than the state average at Lakeland Elementary, and similar challenges in Mathematics, Science, Algebra I, and Biology I at Lakeland High. Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as both schools have high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a large population of students from low-income families. Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools have not been able to translate these resources into improved academic outcomes.

Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 64740 zip code area face significant challenges in terms of academic performance, socioeconomic factors, and resource allocation. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of these issues and develop targeted strategies to improve the educational opportunities for students in this community.
