Best Public Schools in Zip Code 85940

Summary:

The 85940 zip code area has only one school, Vernon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8. This public school has a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of Hispanic and Native American students. While the school has some grade levels performing above the state average in certain subjects, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, now ranking 871 out of 1,226 Arizona elementary schools with a 2-star rating.

Vernon Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with some strengths in Science and English Language Arts, but significant weaknesses in Mathematics. The school has a relatively high dropout rate of 5.6% and a high percentage of students (65.04%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a low-income student population. Despite the school's small class sizes and higher per-student spending, the academic outcomes do not yet reflect the potential benefits of these investments.

Overall, the data suggests that Vernon Elementary District is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The declining statewide ranking, mixed academic performance, and high dropout rate are concerning and may require targeted interventions and support to improve the educational experience for the students in this area.
