Summary:
The 62501 zip code is home to two schools, Argenta-Oreana High School and Argenta-Oreana Middle School, both part of the Argenta-Oreana CUSD 1 district. While the high school has a relatively small enrollment of 285 students, the middle school serves 199 students. Both schools have a diverse student population, with a majority of White students and smaller percentages of other racial and ethnic groups.
Academically, the high school's performance on standardized tests is significantly below the state averages in mathematics, English language arts, and science. In contrast, the middle school's academic performance is more mixed, with some grades performing above the state average in English language arts and others below the state average in mathematics. The high school also has a low four-year graduation rate of 81.7% and a relatively high dropout rate of 3.5%, which are areas of concern. Both schools serve a population with a relatively low socioeconomic status, as evidenced by the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.
In terms of resources, the high school spends $15,047 per student, which is higher than the middle school's spending of $11,633 per student. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with the high school at 14:1 and the middle school at 13.7:1. This suggests that the schools may have the potential to provide more individualized attention and support for their students, but the academic performance data indicates that these resources may not be fully leveraged or effectively utilized.
