The 61531 zip code is home to a single high school, Farmington Central High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%, it faces some academic challenges, with student test scores falling below state averages in multiple subjects.
Farmington Central High School's performance on standardized tests is an area of concern, with only 43.8% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 51.7%, and 30.3% proficient or better in ACT/Mathematics, compared to the state average of 39.3%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement. However, the school's higher-than-average spending per student ($13,727) and lower student-teacher ratio (13.3 to 1) suggest that it is providing a valuable educational experience for many students.
Additionally, 37.33% of Farmington Central High School's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This may require additional resources and support to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed. Overall, while Farmington Central High School faces some academic and demographic challenges, it also has positive indicators of student success, and continued analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to help the school improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of its community.
