Best Public Schools in Zip Code 67410

The 67410 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, across the Abilene and Chapman school districts. While the Abilene district is ranked higher overall, the Chapman district schools, such as Blue Ridge Elementary and Rural Center Elementary, consistently outperform their Abilene counterparts in academic proficiency.

The small, rural Chapman district schools stand out, with lower student-teacher ratios and higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the larger Abilene schools. For example, Blue Ridge Elementary had the highest proficiency rates in the area, while McKinley Elementary in the Abilene district had the strongest performance among its peers. Graduation rates at Abilene High School are also commendable at 89.5%.

However, the data reveals some areas for improvement, such as the high chronic absenteeism rate across all schools and the correlation between higher free/reduced lunch rates and lower academic proficiency. The lone virtual school, Abilene Virtual School, serves a smaller and more economically advantaged student population compared to the traditional brick-and-mortar schools in the area.
