Summary:
The 62558 zip code area has only one elementary school, Pawnee Grade School, which serves grades PK-6 and is part of the Pawnee CUSD 11 district. While the school maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its academic performance is mixed, with strong English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency but lower math proficiency compared to state averages.
Pawnee Grade School outperforms the state average in ELA, with 61.2% of students proficient or better, but its math proficiency rate of 40.8% is lower than the state's 38.5%. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency, however, is higher than the state average at 52.6%. With a relatively low free and reduced-price lunch rate of 29.93%, the school's student population may be more affluent, which could contribute to its academic success, particularly in ELA. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio of 10.1 may also be factors in its performance.
One area of concern for Pawnee Grade School is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is higher than the state average. This is an issue the school and district may need to address to improve overall student outcomes. Overall, while Pawnee Grade School has some strengths, particularly in ELA, the district and school leadership may need to focus on improving math proficiency and addressing the high chronic absenteeism rate to ensure all students are succeeding.
