Summary:
The zip code 42041 contains only one school, Fulton Independent School, an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 324 students. While the school boasts a high 94.7% four-year graduation rate, its academic performance on state assessments is significantly below the state averages, particularly in mathematics and reading proficiency.
Fulton Independent School faces challenges, with only 15% of 11th-grade students and 13-21% of elementary and middle school students scoring proficient or better in mathematics. Reading proficiency is also a concern, with only 12-42% of students scoring proficient or better across different grade levels. The school's high percentage of students (70.06%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance issues.
Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($19,480) and lower student-teacher ratio (10.3 to 1), these investments do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. Further investigation would be needed to understand the school's specific programs, interventions, and strategies to address the academic challenges faced by the students at Fulton Independent School.
