Summary:
The 62466 zip code has only one school, Sumner Attendance Center, a public middle school serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 213 students. While the school's performance in English Language Arts (ELA) is generally stronger than its performance in Mathematics, there are areas for improvement, particularly in Mathematics proficiency, where the school lags behind the state average.
Sumner Attendance Center has a chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average. In ELA, the school's proficiency rates match or exceed the district averages, but in Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are significantly lower than the state averages, especially in 5th and 6th grades. The school's 5th-grade Science proficiency rate of 24.3% also falls below the state average of 40.6%. With a high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients at 61.5%, the school serves a socioeconomically disadvantaged student population, which may impact academic performance.
Despite the school's challenges, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.6, which could be an advantage in providing more personalized attention and support for students. The school's per-student spending of $10,205 is higher than the state average, but it's unclear how this funding is being utilized to support student learning and achievement. Overall, Red Hill CUSD 10 and the community should focus on improving the school's Mathematics and Science proficiency rates while addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.
