Summary:
The 66414 zip code area is home to two schools - Carbondale Attendance Center, a middle school, and Santa Fe Trail High School. Both schools appear to be underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism, despite spending more per student than the state average.
Neither school stands out as a clear standout in the data. Carbondale Attendance Center is ranked 202nd out of 363 Kansas middle schools and has a 2-star rating, while Santa Fe Trail High School is ranked 295th out of 332 Kansas high schools and has a 1-star rating. Both schools have a 89.5% four-year graduation rate, slightly below the state average, and a 19.5% chronic absenteeism rate, which is higher than the state average.
The schools in the 66414 zip code area serve a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by their free/reduced lunch rates of 44.72% and 43.03%, respectively. Despite the additional funding, the schools continue to struggle with low test scores, underperforming on English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science assessments across all grade levels. The student-teacher ratios at both schools are relatively low, but this does not appear to be translating into better academic results for the students.
