Summary:
The 65772 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Southwest R-V school district. While the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, there are no clear standout performers in the area.
Academically, the schools struggle across the board, with low proficiency rates in core subjects like math, science, and English language arts. The Southwest Elementary and Southwest Middle schools both have proficiency rates well below the state averages, while the Southwest High school struggles particularly in Algebra I and Biology I. Additionally, all three schools have higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates.
Despite the high school's relatively strong 4-year graduation rate of 95.4%, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is still well below the state averages. This suggests that while the school is successful in helping students complete their education, it may not be adequately preparing them for college or career readiness. The differences in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools also indicate potential resource allocation issues that may be contributing to the overall academic challenges in the area.
