Summary:

The 67432 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Lincoln Elementary and Garfield Elementary. Based on the available data, Garfield Elementary appears to be the standout school in this area, consistently ranking higher in statewide rankings and outperforming Lincoln Elementary and county/state averages on key metrics.

Garfield Elementary boasts higher test scores across English Language Arts, Math, and Science, with its 5th grade students particularly excelling. The school also has a lower percentage of students receiving free/reduced lunch and a more favorable student-teacher ratio compared to Lincoln Elementary. While Lincoln spends more per student, this higher funding does not seem to be translating to significantly better outcomes.

Both schools face the challenge of high chronic absenteeism rates, an issue the Clay County district should investigate and address. Overall, the data highlights the importance of looking beyond just overall school rankings or averages, and instead examining grade-level and subject-specific performance to gain a more nuanced understanding of school quality in this area.
