Summary:
The 65571 zip code is home to two schools: Summersville High School and Summersville Elementary School, both part of the Summersville R-II School District. While Summersville High School struggles with test scores and has a low state ranking, Summersville Elementary School performs better, outpacing the state average in some areas. Both schools, however, face challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates.
Summersville High School has a strong 97.2% four-year graduation rate, but its proficiency rates fall below the state average in most subject areas. In contrast, Summersville Elementary School outperforms the state average in 3rd grade math and English language arts, though it struggles with math proficiency in 4th and 5th grades. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates of 12.6%, significantly higher than the state average.
The high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, 36.75% at the high school and 52.68% at the elementary school, suggest that the district serves a population with significant economic challenges. While the per-student spending at both schools is relatively high, the district may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning and address the chronic absenteeism issue.
