Central A & M High School up 146 spots statewide this year
Summary:

The 62550 zip code area is home to two schools - Central A & M High School and Gregory Intermediate, both part of the Central A & M CUD 21 district. While the high school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years, the elementary school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Central A & M High School has a graduation rate slightly above the state average, but its dropout rate is also higher. The school's test scores are mixed, with stronger performance in English Language Arts but lower proficiency in Mathematics. In contrast, Gregory Intermediate has English Language Arts proficiency rates close to the state average, but its Mathematics proficiency rates are lower, ranging from 34.8% to 51% across different grade levels.

Both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced-price lunch recipients at both schools indicate that the student population may face socioeconomic challenges that could influence their educational experiences and outcomes. These factors, along with the disparities in Mathematics proficiency, suggest areas for improvement and targeted interventions to support the academic success of all students in the 62550 zip code area.
