Summary:
The 67487 zip code in Kansas is home to two schools, Wakefield Elementary and Wakefield High, both of which have relatively low performance metrics compared to the county and state averages. Neither school stands out as a clear standout, with Wakefield Elementary ranked 508 out of 656 Kansas elementary schools and Wakefield High ranked 223 out of 332 Kansas high schools.
Wakefield Elementary has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and significantly underperforms the county and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels. The school also has a high free/reduced lunch rate of 60.69%, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. Wakefield High, on the other hand, has a chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5% and underperforms the county and state averages in English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency for 10th grade, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 54.67%.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratios at both schools, the data suggests that these factors alone are not enough to drive significant improvements in academic performance. Addressing the root causes of the low performance, such as chronic absenteeism, resource allocation, and targeted interventions, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes in this area served by the Clay County school district.
