Summary:
The 62988 zip code area has only one elementary school, Egyptian Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Egyptian CUSD 5 district and has consistently underperformed compared to state averages in academic proficiency.
Egyptian Elementary School has an enrollment of 156 students and a student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1. However, the school's performance is concerning, with only 21.1% of students proficient in English Language Arts, 7.9% proficient in Math, and 9.4% proficient in Science, all well below the state averages. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, indicating that a significant portion of the student population is missing a substantial amount of instructional time.
Despite the school's relatively high spending of $17,023 per student, the data suggests that the resources are not being effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement. With 100% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the difficulties it faces in improving academic outcomes. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive, data-driven approach to school improvement.
