Walnut Hill Elementary/Middle School stands out as the top performer in the area, with the highest overall test scores in both math and English language arts compared to the district and state averages. It also has a relatively low dropout rate of 3.3%. In contrast, the other schools in the area have more mixed academic performance, with some grades and subjects performing better than others. The Caddo Virtual Academy high school also performs well, with competitive test scores and a high 4-year graduation rate of 83.2%.
A common challenge across all the schools is high chronic absenteeism rates, around 24.6%, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve economically disadvantaged populations, with 65.62% to 80.57% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the student-teacher ratios are generally higher than the state average, ranging from 13.8 to 18.4 students per teacher, the overall data suggests that targeted interventions and support, particularly around attendance and addressing economic disadvantages, could help improve outcomes for all students in the 71129 zip code area.
