Summary:
The 65259 zip code area is home to two schools - Westran Elementary and Westran High, both part of the Westran R-I school district. While Westran Elementary shows some academic strengths, particularly in science, both schools face challenges in areas like chronic absenteeism and uneven performance.
Westran Elementary stands out for its strong 5th-grade science proficiency, outperforming the state average by a significant margin. However, the school's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency lags behind the state average. Westran High, on the other hand, boasts an impressive 100% four-year graduation rate, but struggles with low Algebra I proficiency compared to the state. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be contributing to their academic performance.
Operationally, Westran Elementary has a lower student-teacher ratio and per-student spending than Westran High. The significant difference in free/reduced-price lunch rates between the two schools may indicate socioeconomic disparities within the district. Overall, the data provides a mixed picture of the schools in the 65259 zip code area, with both strengths and challenges that the district will need to address to ensure the success of all students.
