Nashua-Plainfield Junior-Senior High School up 15 spots statewide this year
Summary:

The 50658 zip code area is home to two schools - Nashua-Plainfield Junior-Senior High School and Nashua-Plainfield Elementary School, both part of the Nashua-Plainfield Community School District. The data shows that these schools are performing relatively well, with many grade levels meeting or exceeding state averages on standardized tests, and the high school boasting a strong 88.3% four-year graduation rate.

However, both schools face a common challenge - high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.6%, which is an area the district should address. Additionally, the schools serve a significant population of students from low-income households, with around 30% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting potential equity concerns that the district may need to address.

Overall, the Nashua-Plainfield schools appear to be providing a solid education, with the junior-senior high school standing out for its strong performance on ISASP tests and the elementary school maintaining consistent performance across grade levels. The district's focus on supporting student success is evident, but addressing the high chronic absenteeism rates and ensuring equitable access to resources will be crucial for the continued growth and development of these schools.
