Summary:
The 62920 zip code area has only one elementary school, Cobden Elementary School, which serves students from the Cobden SUD 17 school district. With 219 students, Cobden Elementary has a relatively small student population and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.9.
Cobden Elementary's academic performance is mixed, with above-average proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) but below-average rates in math. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency, however, is significantly higher than the state average. One area of concern is the school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which may be impacting student learning and achievement. Additionally, the school serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 34.25% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the school's above-average per-student spending of $15,352, the academic performance data suggests that the resources may not be fully translating into improved student outcomes, particularly in math. The school's leadership may need to investigate the underlying causes of the low math proficiency rates and develop targeted strategies to address this challenge and support student learning across all subject areas.
