Summary:

The 62935 zip code area is home to two elementary schools: Galatia Elementary School and Galatia Grade School Annex, both part of the Galatia CUSD 1 district. While Galatia Elementary School serves grades K-5, the Galatia Grade School Annex caters exclusively to pre-kindergarten students.

Galatia Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 992 in 2022-2023 to 1250 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates (25.4%) and below-average test scores, with only 44.3% of students proficient or better in ELA and 21.5% in Math. However, the school's spending per student ($11,434) and student-teacher ratio (13.7) are relatively higher than the state average. In contrast, the Galatia Grade School Annex, with its smaller class size (student-teacher ratio of 7), may provide more individualized attention to its pre-kindergarten students, though its funding allocation ($12,210 per student) is higher than the main elementary school.

Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 62935 zip code area face several areas of concern, such as declining performance, high chronic absenteeism, and below-average test scores, which the district and school administrators should address to improve the educational outcomes for students in the Galatia community.
