Best Public Schools in Zip Code 61462


Summary:

The schools in this area show a wide range of academic performance, with some standout performers like United High School and United Elementary School - West leading the way, while others struggle to meet state averages.

United High School stands out with strong academic performance, with 71.9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 27.4% proficient or better in Mathematics on the 2024-2025 IAR assessments. The school also boasts a 89.0% four-year graduation rate and a 2.4% dropout rate, both of which are positive indicators. United Elementary School - West also performs well, with 47.8% of students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics.

However, the data also reveals some concerning trends, such as alarmingly high chronic absenteeism rates of 25.4% across all schools in the 61462 zip code area. Additionally, there appears to be a correlation between the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and academic performance, with the schools serving more economically disadvantaged populations tending to have lower test scores. The district should consider addressing these issues to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the Monmouth-Roseville CUSD 238 and United CUSD 304 districts.
