Summary:
The 65689 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a residential treatment facility). These schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with all three regular public schools having 100% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Cabool Elementary and Cabool High generally perform at or above the state average on standardized tests, with Cabool Elementary standing out for its above-average 3rd and 4th grade math and ELA proficiency, as well as its low student-teacher ratio of 10:1. Cabool High also has a strong 93.7% four-year graduation rate and performs well on English II end-of-course exams. In contrast, Cabool Middle School lags behind the state average in many subject areas, particularly in 5th and 6th grade math.
The Gentry Residential Treat. Fac., while serving a smaller student population of 32, has a concerning 51.9% four-year graduation rate but a commendable 0% chronic absenteeism rate. The high chronic absenteeism rates (around 14%) at the regular public schools are a potential area of concern and may be impacting student learning and achievement. Overall, the schools in this zip code face challenges related to high poverty levels, with the Cabool R-IV and Division Of Youth Service districts working to address these issues and improve student outcomes.
