Summary:
The 74085 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Yale school district. While Yale High School stands out as a relatively stronger performer, with a 4-star rating and better standardized test scores, the lower-level Yale Elementary and Yale Middle schools show room for improvement in academic achievement and statewide rankings.
Across all three schools, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 66.67% to 71.86%, suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. The higher spending per student at the secondary schools, $11,092 for the high school and $10,483 for the middle school, may indicate a greater investment in resources and programs for older students. However, the small school sizes, ranging from 69 to 167 students, could present challenges in terms of resource allocation and extracurricular offerings.
The data also reveals a concerning trend of declining statewide rankings for the elementary and middle schools, which have dropped from 592 out of 846 in 2010-2011 to 348 out of 646 in 2020-2021 for the elementary school, and from 526 out of 542 in 2010-2011 to 219 out of 407 in 2020-2021 for the middle school. This suggests a potential need for improvement in the academic performance and resources at these lower-level schools to better support the educational needs of the community.
