Best Public Schools in Zip Code 66733

The 66733 zip code area is home to two schools - Erie Elementary and Erie High School, both part of the Erie-Galesburg school district. While Erie Elementary shows relatively strong performance in English Language Arts, Erie High School struggles academically, with low proficiency rates in both ELA and Math compared to district and state averages.

Erie Elementary serves 219 students in grades PK-5 and has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 65.3%. The school outperforms the district and state in ELA proficiency, particularly in grades 3 and 4, but has mixed results in Math. However, Erie Elementary also has a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%. In contrast, Erie High School, with 154 students in grades 9-12, has significantly lower proficiency rates in both ELA and Math compared to the district and state, as well as a slightly below-average graduation rate of 89.5%.

The data suggests that while Erie Elementary has some academic strengths, the performance at Erie High School is an area of concern, potentially indicating a need for targeted interventions and support as students transition from elementary to high school. Additionally, the high rates of chronic absenteeism and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population in both schools may be contributing factors to the academic performance and should be addressed to improve educational outcomes for the students in this area.
