Summary:
The 67880 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Hickok Elementary and Sullivan Elementary. Both schools serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Ulysses school district. However, the data suggests that these schools are facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance and serving economically disadvantaged student populations.
Based on the available information, neither Hickok Elementary nor Sullivan Elementary appear to be standout schools in the area. Hickok Elementary has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from a 3-star rating to a 0-star rating, while Sullivan Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Kansas elementary schools, with a 1-star rating. Both schools have relatively low proficiency rates in core subjects compared to state averages.
The data also reveals that these schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, with Hickok Elementary having a 53.24% free and reduced-price lunch rate and Sullivan Elementary having an even higher rate of 77.36%. This suggests that the schools may face additional challenges in supporting their students' academic and social-emotional needs. While Hickok Elementary spends more per student and has a higher student-teacher ratio, the data does not indicate a clear advantage in terms of academic performance.
