Summary:
The 65441 zip code is home to a single high school, Bourbon High School, which serves students in grades 9-12 within the Crawford County R-I school district.
Bourbon High School has a 91.3% four-year graduation rate, slightly higher than the state average, but its academic performance lags behind state benchmarks. The school's proficiency rates in Algebra I (12.8%) and Biology I (18.7%) are significantly lower than the state averages of 45.4% and 37.3%, respectively. Additionally, Bourbon High School has a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 20.2%, which may be contributing to the low academic achievement.
Despite the academic challenges, Bourbon High School maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 2.8%. The school also serves a population with significant economic disadvantage, with 42.49% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's per-student spending ($10,361) and student-teacher ratio (12.7) are better than state averages, these inputs have not translated into strong academic outcomes for the students. Addressing the low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and the needs of the economically disadvantaged population should be the school's top priorities.
