Summary:

The 67565 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Otis-Bison Elementary, which serves students in the Otis-Bison school district. This small, rural school has faced some challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly over the past few years.

Otis-Bison Elementary's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics have also been inconsistent, with the school performing above the state average in 2024-2025 but below the state average in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which could be a contributing factor to its academic struggles. Despite these challenges, the school spends a significant amount per student, $14,489 in 2018-2019, and has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.2 to 1, suggesting a focus on providing additional resources and support to its student population.

Nearly half of Otis-Bison Elementary's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage in the community. This factor, combined with the school's inconsistent performance and high chronic absenteeism, highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to help improve student outcomes and ensure all students in the 67565 zip code have access to a high-quality education.
