Summary:
The 64865 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area face some challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates and a significant population of students from low-income families, there are also some standout performers worth highlighting.
Seneca High School stands out with a strong 96.4% four-year graduation rate and a relatively low 1.4% dropout rate. In contrast, Seneca Intermediate School shows impressive academic performance, with 61.6% of 4th graders proficient or better in Math and 46.8% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, exceeding district and state averages. However, Seneca Junior High lags behind, with only 14.4% of 8th graders proficient or better in Math and 27.8% proficient or better in English Language Arts, suggesting a need to investigate the factors contributing to this performance gap.
Funding disparities are also evident, with Seneca Junior High spending $12,157 per student, significantly more than the $7,474 spent per student at Seneca Elementary. This raises questions about the equity of resource allocation and the potential impact on educational opportunities for students across the different schools in the Seneca R-Vii district.
