Summary:
The 73669 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Thomas-Fay-Custer Unified District. Among these schools, Thomas Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top elementary schools in the state and outperforming the district and state averages in academic achievement.
The data reveals that Thomas Elementary School's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly higher than the state averages, indicating strong academic performance. In contrast, the performance at the high school level is more mixed, with proficiency rates ranging from 21.4% in Mathematics to 53.6% in U.S. History. The district appears to prioritize its middle and high school students, as evidenced by the higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios at these levels compared to the elementary school.
Across all three schools, the relatively high free and reduced lunch rates suggest that the community served by these schools has a significant proportion of students from low-income families, which may present unique challenges and opportunities for the district. The district should closely examine its curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to ensure all students are achieving at high levels, particularly at the high school level where performance is more varied.
