Summary:
The 37317 zip code area is home to two schools - Copper Basin Elementary School and Copper Basin High School, both part of the Polk County school district. Based on the available data, Copper Basin High School emerges as the standout performer, consistently ranking higher than the elementary school and exceeding county and state averages in various academic metrics.
Copper Basin High School boasts a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and demonstrates stronger test scores across subjects like Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies compared to Copper Basin Elementary School, as well as the county and state. The high school also benefits from a significantly lower student-teacher ratio of 9.9, compared to 17.2 at the elementary school, which may contribute to its academic success. Additionally, the high school spends more per student ($11,299) than the elementary school ($9,978), which could be another factor in its superior performance.
While both schools have a very homogeneous student population, with over 95% of students identifying as White, the lack of diversity may be a concern and could impact the educational experience for students. Furthermore, the absence of data on free/reduced lunch rates limits the ability to fully understand the socioeconomic status of the student populations and how it may influence academic achievement. Overall, the data suggests that Copper Basin High School is the stronger performing school in this area, but more information is needed to draw a comprehensive conclusion about the schools' performance and the factors contributing to their success or challenges.
