Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65274

Summary:

The 65274 zip code is home to two schools, New Franklin Middle-High and New Franklin Elementary, both part of the New Franklin R-I district. While the elementary school is a higher performer, the middle-high school struggles across key metrics, indicating potential issues with the transition from elementary to secondary education in this district.

New Franklin Elementary outperforms its counterpart, the middle-high school, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger compared to the middle-high's 1-star rating. The elementary school also boasts stronger test scores, with 42.5% of 5th graders proficient or better in math, while only 28.6% of 6th-7th graders at the middle-high school achieve proficiency. Despite the elementary school's higher free/reduced lunch rate of 36.95% compared to 32.42% at the middle-high, it manages to deliver better academic outcomes.

The racial demographics of both schools are quite homogeneous, with over 90% white students, which may be an area for the district to examine and address. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the middle-high school ($11,308 vs. $10,031 at the elementary) suggests the district may need to re-evaluate how these funds are being allocated to better support student success at the secondary level.
