Summary:
The 74060 zip code area is home to two schools - Prue Elementary School and Prue High School. While Prue Elementary is performing well above state standards in 8th grade English Language Arts, Prue High School is struggling academically across multiple subject areas for 11th grade students.
The data reveals a stark contrast in academic performance between the two schools. Prue Elementary boasts a 65% proficiency rate in 8th grade ELA, significantly higher than the state average of 20%. In contrast, Prue High School has test scores below 25% proficiency across English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and U.S. History for 11th grade students. This suggests the high school is underperforming compared to state standards.
Both schools face socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, at over 84% for each school. This could be a contributing factor to the academic performance issues at the high school level. Additionally, Prue Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over time, indicating a need for the Prue school district to closely examine the factors contributing to the academic struggles and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
