Summary:

The 66606 zip code in Kansas is home to a single high school, Capital City, which serves the local community. Despite higher per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, Capital City has consistently ranked near the bottom of Kansas high schools, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the Topeka Public Schools district and state averages.

Key metrics for Capital City include a 89.5% four-year graduation rate, a relatively low 1.3% dropout rate, but a high 19.5% chronic absenteeism rate. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science were all well below the district and state levels. Additionally, a high percentage (87.5%) of Capital City's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Overall, the data suggests that Capital City is a struggling school that is underperforming compared to the district and state averages across multiple metrics. Further investigation would be needed to identify the root causes of the school's challenges and develop targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
