Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65746


Summary:

The 65746 zip code area is home to three schools - Seymour Elementary, Seymour High, and Seymour Middle - all part of the Seymour R-II district. While Seymour Elementary stands out for its high percentage of white students, Seymour High has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years. Seymour Middle, on the other hand, has shown improvement in its ranking, though all three schools generally lag behind state averages in academic performance metrics like test scores.

Across the three schools, student proficiency rates on the MAP tests are below the state averages, particularly in mathematics. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency at Seymour Elementary is 38.9% compared to the state average of 41.1%. Additionally, the free/reduced lunch rates range from 34.94% at Seymour Middle to 39.48% at Seymour Elementary, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Despite the low student-teacher ratios, the schools' academic performance suggests that factors beyond just class size may be influencing student achievement.

The racial demographics of the schools are not representative of the broader state population, with a much higher percentage of white students and lower percentages of minority students compared to the state averages. This disparity warrants further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to the academic performance and statewide rankings of these schools. Addressing the needs of economically disadvantaged students may also be a key focus area for the Seymour R-II district to improve overall student outcomes.
