The schools in the 65682 zip code area consistently perform below the state averages, suggesting a need for improvement in the quality of education. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 50.52% to 58%, indicates that the schools serve a predominantly low-income population, which can present additional challenges. Additionally, the lack of diversity in the student population, with a significant majority of white students, may limit the exposure of students to different cultures and perspectives. However, the relatively low student-teacher ratios, especially at Lockwood High, could be leveraged to provide more individualized attention and support for students, potentially leading to improved academic outcomes. Overall, the data highlights the importance of targeted interventions and resource allocation to support the growth and development of these schools and their students within the Lockwood R-I and Lamar R-I districts.
