Lincoln Elementary School is the standout here and the only 3-star school in the zip code, ranking at the 61st percentile against the district's 27th. Its all-grade proficiency reaches 47.35% in ELA, 50.63% in math and 41.67% in science, far above district figures. Mabel K Holland Elementary School (2 stars) posts 41.92% in math, more than 12 points above the district, though its science dropped from 40.63% to 21.15%. Northrop High School (2 stars) graduates 94.4% of its students, above both the district's 89.3% and the state's 89.7%, and leads the district in SAT reading and math, even as those scores trail state averages.
Shawnee Middle School and Northwood Middle School, both 1-star, show the weakest results, with all-grade math of 16.18% and 15.56% against a district rate of 29.43%. Northcrest Elementary School (1 star) is also below district in ELA and math. Chronic absenteeism exceeds the state's 16.7% at every school, from 17.5% at Mabel K Holland to 27.2% at Shawnee. Notably, poverty and spending do not reliably predict performance: Lincoln has 66.95% free or reduced lunch and mid-range funding yet leads the group.
