Summary:
The 66968 zip code is home to two schools: Washington Elementary and Washington County High School, both part of the Washington County Schools district. While Washington Elementary consistently performs above state and district averages, particularly in early grades, Washington County High School lags behind in most subject areas.
Washington Elementary School stands out for its strong academic performance, with proficiency rates exceeding state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics, especially in 3rd and 4th grades. In contrast, Washington County High School struggles, with proficiency rates below the state average in most subjects and grade levels, though it does perform relatively well in 10th grade English Language Arts.
The data suggests a potential disconnect in the educational continuum, where students who excel in elementary school may not maintain that level of achievement as they progress to high school. Additionally, the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at the high school compared to the elementary school do not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. Further analysis of the relationship between socioeconomic factors and educational performance in this district could provide valuable insights to address these challenges.
