Best Public Schools in Zip Code 64761

Summary:

The 64761 zip code area is home to three schools - Leeton Elementary, Leeton High, and Leeton Middle - all part of the Leeton R-X school district. Unfortunately, the data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state-wide metrics, with all three schools earning a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Proficiency rates on MAP tests are significantly lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. While Leeton High has a 100% four-year graduation rate, which is a positive metric, it is not enough to offset the overall poor academic performance. The schools also face demographic challenges, with high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.06% at Leeton Elementary to 58.46% at Leeton Middle.

The data suggests that the Leeton R-X school district is struggling to effectively allocate resources and address the needs of its students. The relatively low per-student spending and high chronic absenteeism rates may be contributing factors to the lack of improvement over time. Addressing these systemic challenges should be a priority to improve educational outcomes for the community.
