Summary:
The 25515 zip code area has only one school, Beale Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 230 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, its academic performance is consistently below the state and district averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science, raising concerns about the quality of education provided.
Beale Elementary School's academic struggles are evident across multiple grade levels, with proficiency rates ranging from 24.1% to 55.2% in Mathematics and 22.2% to 48.3% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 30.9% to 53.2% and 44.5% to 46.6%, respectively. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of only 7.4% is particularly alarming, falling far short of the state average of 32.3%. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated over the past three years, indicating potential instability or inconsistency in its performance.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,931 for the 2018-2019 school year and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1, the academic outcomes at Beale Elementary School suggest that the resources may not be effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement. The lack of diversity in the student population, with 97.39% of students identifying as white, is another factor that may warrant further investigation to understand its potential impact on the educational environment and outcomes.
