Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65337


Summary:

The schools in zip code 65337 serve students from elementary through high school, with La Monte Elementary and La Monte High providing education to the local community. These schools face significant challenges, including a high percentage of Hispanic students, low test scores compared to state averages, and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower socioeconomic status.

Academically, the schools struggle, with both La Monte Elementary and La Monte High performing well below the state averages in mathematics, science, and English language arts. This is particularly concerning in subjects like algebra and biology, where the high school's end-of-course exam proficiency rates are only 8.3% and 17.2%, respectively, compared to the state's 41.5% and 38.5%.

The challenges faced by these schools are further compounded by their limited resources, with La Monte R-IV spending only $10,177 per student at the elementary level and $11,836 per student at the high school level. This, combined with the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggests that the schools may lack the necessary funding and support to effectively address the unique needs of their student population and improve academic outcomes.
