Summary:
The 67336 zip code is home to two schools, Chetopa Elementary and Chetopa High, both of which appear to be underperforming compared to state and district averages. The schools serve a student population with high rates of economic disadvantage, as evidenced by their free and reduced-price lunch rates exceeding 75%.
Academically, both Chetopa Elementary and Chetopa High have significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to their state and district counterparts. This trend is consistent across multiple grade levels, indicating a systemic challenge in providing quality education to the students. The small school sizes, with less than 100 students each, may contribute to the schools' struggles to offer a comprehensive educational program.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending at both schools, the academic performance remains well below average. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to drive student achievement. The historical data shows that Chetopa Elementary and Chetopa High have consistently ranked in the lower tiers of Chetopa-St. Paul schools, suggesting a need for sustained improvement efforts to address the underlying factors contributing to the schools' underperformance.
