Summary:
Zip code 67484 has two schools in the Twin Valley district: Tescott Elementary serves prekindergarten through sixth grade and enrolls 69 students, while Tescott Junior High/High School serves grades 7–12 and enrolls 72. The clearest area-wide pattern is stronger science than other subjects: the two schools average 54% proficient in science, 16 points above the state’s 38%; their math average is 44%, 3 points above the state, while their ELA average is 36%, 10 points below the state. The main takeaway is that science is a shared strength, but ELA is the area’s clearest overall shortfall.
Tescott Elementary leads the latest all-grades results in every subject: it has 43% proficiency in ELA versus 29% at the secondary school, 49% versus 39% in math, and 65% versus 44% in science. Its fifth graders also exceed state results in ELA, math, and science by 14, 26, and 19 points, respectively. However, results vary sharply by grade: elementary sixth-grade ELA is 18% versus 42% statewide, and secondary tenth-grade ELA is 9% versus 41%. The secondary school has bright spots too: its eighth-grade results exceed state levels by 8 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 11 in science.
Results declined year over year in five of the six school-subject comparisons; elementary science was the exception, rising 19 points to 65%. The largest drop was secondary-school science, down 31 points to 44%; secondary ELA fell 20 points to 29%, and elementary math fell 18 points to 49%. SchoolDigger ranks Tescott Elementary at the 56th percentile and Tescott Junior High/High School at the 39th; both are below their prior-year positions. Their reported student-teacher ratios are similar, 6.6 and 6.5, while the elementary school’s reported free/reduced-lunch rate is higher, 77% versus 56% at the secondary school. These are contextual observations, not explanations of results; the schools also serve different grade spans and have small enrollments.
