In contrast, Doyle Elementary School is the most average performer, consistently earning 3-star ratings and trailing the other schools in all subjects, particularly social studies where only 50% of students are proficient. Frost School presents a unique paradox: despite having the highest chronic absenteeism rate (19.9%) and the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged students, it achieves exceptional results in middle school math, with 6th, 7th, and 8th grade proficiency rates of 88%, 87%, and 79% respectively—far exceeding district averages.
Key metrics reveal a clear hierarchy in performance. Doyle High School has shown a strong upward trajectory, jumping from the 81st to the 93rd percentile over two years, and excels in End-of-Course exams like Algebra I (94% proficient) and Biology (87% proficient). Frost School has the most favorable student-teacher ratio at 10.7:1, while Doyle High School has the largest at 15.3:1. There is no dedicated middle school in the zip code, as Doyle High School serves grades 6-12 and Frost School serves PK-8, meaning students from Doyle Elementary must transition after 5th grade. Overall, while economic challenges are present, Doyle High School and Frost School demonstrate that strong academic outcomes are achievable, particularly in math at Frost School and across all subjects at Doyle High School.
