Summary:
The 62865 zip code area is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Zeigler-Royalton CUSD 188 district. While the district's Zeigler-Royalton High School has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.0% and a low dropout rate of 2.4%, its test scores, particularly in mathematics, are significantly below the state averages, with only 10% of 11th graders proficient or better in ACT Mathematics.
The Zeigler-Royalton Elementary School has shown some improvement in test scores over the past few years, but its overall performance remains well below the state averages, with only 40.2% of students proficient or better in ELA and 20.5% in Mathematics. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which may be impacting student performance. The Zeigler-Royalton Junior High School also struggles with low test scores, particularly in Mathematics, with proficiency rates as low as 5.1% for 7th grade.
Across all three schools, test scores in both ELA and Mathematics are significantly below the state averages, with the highest proficiency rates being around 50% for ELA and 30% for Mathematics. Additionally, all three schools have a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 61.17% to 71.66%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the student population. These factors may be contributing to the consistent underperformance across the Zeigler-Royalton CUSD 188 district, and addressing systemic issues, improving attendance, and supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds could be crucial steps in driving better outcomes for these schools.
