Summary:

The 67871 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Scott City Lower Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger for the 2018-2019 school year, placing it 293rd out of 667 Kansas elementary schools.

Scott City Lower Elementary has a student population of 235, with a high percentage (58.72%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant economic challenge for the community. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is also relatively high at 19.5%, which can negatively impact student learning and academic outcomes. However, the school's spending per student of $8,984 and a student-teacher ratio of 14:1 suggest that it has access to reasonable resources to support its students.

While the school's performance has fluctuated, the data highlights areas of concern, such as the high poverty rates and chronic absenteeism, which may be impacting the school's ability to maintain consistent academic achievement. Addressing these challenges and implementing strategies to improve student attendance and support the needs of the school's economically disadvantaged population could be crucial for enhancing the educational outcomes at Scott City Lower Elementary, the only elementary school serving the 67871 zip code area.
