The 66440 zip code area is home to two schools - Royal Valley Elementary and Royal Valley High, both part of the Royal Valley school district. While Royal Valley High School is a standout performer, ranking 63 out of 327 Kansas high schools, the elementary school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 199 out of 668 in 2021-2022 to 349 out of 660 in 2022-2023.
Royal Valley High School outperforms the state average in English Language Arts and Mathematics, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.8. In contrast, Royal Valley Elementary School has a high percentage of Native American students (28.93%), significantly above the state average, and underperforms the state average in English Language Arts, despite outperforming in Mathematics. The significant difference in free/reduced lunch rates between the elementary (54.82%) and high school (32.79%) may be an important factor to consider when analyzing the schools' performance and resource allocation.
The data suggests a need to further investigate the factors contributing to the decline in Royal Valley Elementary's performance, as well as the curriculum alignment and teaching practices across the grade levels. Additionally, the high percentage of Native American students at the elementary school warrants a closer look at the school's programs and support for this population. Overall, the insights provide a comprehensive understanding of the strengths and areas for improvement in the schools within the 66440 zip code area.
