Summary:
The 68409 zip code is home to two schools, Conestoga Elementary School and Conestoga Junior/Senior High School, both part of the Conestoga Public Schools district. While Conestoga Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, the junior/senior high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.
Conestoga Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average on standardized tests, with 3rd-6th grade students scoring well above the state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. The school also has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate and a favorable student-teacher ratio, indicating a strong investment in resources. In contrast, Conestoga Junior/Senior High School's test scores and graduation rate are not as strong, dropping from a 4-star to a 2-star rating in the state's ranking system.
Both schools have high per-student spending, well above the state average, suggesting a financial commitment to education in the district. However, the similar student-teacher ratios between the elementary and high school levels indicate a need to investigate how these resources are being utilized and their impact on student learning, particularly at the junior/senior high school level. Addressing the attendance issues and the performance gap between the two schools could be key focus areas for the district to ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
