Summary:
The 66064 zip code area of Kansas is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual school). The data reveals a mix of strengths and challenges across these institutions, with some standout performers and areas for improvement.
Osawatomie Middle School stands out as the highest-ranked school in the area, ranking 182 out of 362 Kansas middle schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the elementary and high schools in the 66064 zip code generally perform below state averages in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. Trojan Elementary and Osawatomie High have also seen their statewide rankings decline in recent years.
The schools in this area face challenges such as high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 57.14% at Osawatomie High to 68.56% at Trojan Elementary. Additionally, all the schools in the 66064 zip code had very high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.5% in 2024-2025, which could negatively impact student learning and achievement. However, Swenson Early Childhood Education Center stands out with a high student-teacher ratio, potentially providing more individualized attention for its young students. The presence of Osawatomie Virtual School also offers an alternative learning option for high school students in the area.
