Summary:
The 65542 zip code is home to two schools, Licking High and Licking Elementary, both part of the Licking R-VIII district. While the schools do not stand out as clear performers, the data provides insights into their student populations, academic achievement, and resource allocation.
Both Licking High and Licking Elementary serve predominantly White student bodies, with over 95% of their students identifying as such. This lack of diversity may impact the educational experiences and perspectives of the students. Academically, the schools consistently underperform on standardized tests compared to state averages, indicating potential challenges in student learning. Additionally, the schools have extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, suggesting that the majority of students come from low-income households, which can present additional barriers to educational success.
In terms of resources, the schools spend relatively high amounts per student, with Licking High spending $10,259 and Licking Elementary spending $9,230 per student. However, it is unclear how effectively these funds are being utilized to support student learning and academic outcomes. Overall, the data paints a picture of two average-performing schools serving a predominantly White, low-income student population, with opportunities for improvement in areas such as academic achievement, diversity, and resource allocation.
