Summary:
The 62468 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Cumberland CUSD 77 district. While the schools exhibit a range of performance, Cumberland Middle School stands out as the strongest performer, outpacing the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency. In contrast, Cumberland Elementary School and Cumberland High School lag behind state averages in several key metrics.
The data reveals that the schools in the 62468 zip code serve a relatively economically disadvantaged population, with free and reduced-price lunch rates ranging from 27.48% at Cumberland Elementary to 39.93% at Cumberland Middle School. This suggests that the district may need to address issues of economic equity and ensure that all students have access to the resources and support they need to succeed.
Chronic absenteeism also emerges as a concern, with Cumberland High School reporting a significantly higher rate of 34.0% compared to the elementary and middle schools, which had rates around 14%. By closely examining the key metrics and identifying the standout schools, district leaders can develop targeted strategies to address the unique challenges and leverage the strengths of each school within the district.
