Summary:
The 56359 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 2 high schools, and 2 alternative schools. These schools serve a high-need student population, as evidenced by the extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, ranging from 78.47% to 97.73%.
Among the standout schools in this area, Nay-Ah-Shing School, an alternative school, has a very low student-teacher ratio of 6.1, which could be beneficial for supporting its high-need student population. However, Onamia Academy, another alternative school, has a high percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 93.33% and significantly lower test scores compared to state and district averages. The high school with the highest student-teacher ratio of 78.4, Kokesh Area Learning Center, may face challenges in providing individualized attention to its students.
Overall, the schools in this zip code area are struggling to meet state proficiency standards, particularly in math, with test scores well below the state averages. The similar graduation and dropout rates across the high schools and alternative schools indicate that they are facing comparable challenges in keeping students engaged and on track to graduate. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help improve academic outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all students in this area, which is served by the Onamia Public School District and the Nay-Ah-Shing School district.
