Summary:

The 62859 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 junior/senior high school, all part of the Hamilton County CUSD 10 district. While the schools face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, one elementary school, East Side Elementary School, stands out as a top performer, outpacing the district and state in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

Hamilton County Junior/Senior High School also performs well, with a higher-than-average four-year graduation rate, though it lags behind in Mathematics proficiency compared to the state. All three schools serve a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 52.75% to 59.55%, which may contribute to the high chronic absenteeism rates observed across the district.

Despite the challenges, the schools in the 62859 zip code area demonstrate a range of strengths, from East Side Elementary School's academic excellence to the high graduation rate at Hamilton County Junior/Senior High School. By leveraging these strengths and addressing areas for improvement, such as the need for targeted interventions in Mathematics, the district can work to provide a well-rounded education for all students in the community.
