The elementary and middle schools in the 65807 zip code face various challenges, with several institutions, such as Jeffries Elementary, Horace Mann Elementary, and Sunshine Elementary, reporting proficiency rates below 50% in Mathematics and English Language Arts. These schools serve a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to their lower academic performance. However, schools with higher per-student spending, such as Horace Mann Elementary and Holland Elementary, tend to have smaller student-teacher ratios and relatively stronger academic outcomes.
