Summary:
The 62839 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Flora Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Flora CUSD 35 district. Flora Elementary has maintained a consistent 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years, indicating strong overall performance, though it has seen some fluctuations in its statewide ranking.
Academically, Flora Elementary outperforms the state average in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency, with 63.5% and 55% of students meeting or exceeding standards respectively in the 2024-2025 school year. However, the school's performance is slightly below the district average in these areas. The school's science proficiency rate of 35.7% matches the district average but falls short of the state's 40.6% rate. One area of concern is the school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which could be a focus for improvement.
Demographically, Flora Elementary serves a population with significant economic challenges, with over 54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school spends $10,643 per student, which is relatively high, potentially indicating a focus on providing adequate resources and support for its students. Overall, Flora Elementary appears to be a strong-performing school, but may have room for improvement in certain areas, such as addressing chronic absenteeism and further closing the gap with the district's higher academic achievement levels.
