Summary:
The 73090 zip code area is home to two schools - Union City Elementary School and Union City High School. While the elementary school serves a diverse student population, the high school has a less diverse student body. Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Union City Elementary School stands out for its relatively large enrollment of 206 students, spanning grades PK-8. The school's academic performance has fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 270 out of 845 schools in 2009-2010 to 514 out of 846 schools in 2010-2011. In contrast, Union City High School has seen a consistent decline in its statewide ranking, from 254 out of 350 schools in 2021-2022 to 279 out of 439 schools in 2022-2023.
The data also reveals a significant difference in per-student spending between the elementary school ($7,322) and the high school ($11,767), which may not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes. Additionally, the racial demographics of the two schools differ, with the elementary school having a more diverse student population compared to the high school. These insights suggest that the Union City school district may need to address the declining performance at the high school level and the socioeconomic challenges faced by a significant portion of the student population across both schools.
