Summary:
The 97106 zip code area is home to 3 schools in the Banks School District 13, including 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While Banks Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, with a 3-star rating and above-average proficiency in English Language Arts, the middle and high schools face challenges in meeting state academic standards.
Banks High School has seen a decline in its performance, dropping from a much higher ranking in previous years, and performing significantly below the state average in both ELA and Math proficiency. Banks Middle School, on the other hand, has performed better than the state average in Science proficiency, suggesting potential strengths in certain subject areas.
The data also reveals differences in resource allocation, with Banks High School having the highest per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, but not necessarily translating into better academic outcomes. Additionally, the higher percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at Banks Elementary School suggests the need to address potential equity considerations and ensure that all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
