Summary:
The 64744 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the El Dorado Springs R-II school district. While the middle school stands out as the highest performer, the district as a whole faces significant challenges, including low academic achievement, high poverty levels, and chronic absenteeism.
El Dorado Springs Middle School is the standout performer, with a 3-star rating and stronger test scores compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, El Dorado Springs High School has a lower 1-star rating, though it maintains a relatively high 88.7% graduation rate and low 2.1% dropout rate. The El Dorado Springs Elementary School faces the greatest challenges, with extremely high poverty levels and significantly lagging test scores.
Across the district, the schools struggle with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 18.8% to 18.8%, well above the state average. Spending per student is on par with state averages, but the district's overall academic performance lags behind, particularly in Math and Science. Addressing these systemic issues will likely require targeted interventions and support to help these schools improve and ensure student success.
