Summary:
The 59471 zip code area is home to two small, rural schools - Roy School, an elementary school, and Roy 6-8, a middle school. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, with very high free/reduced lunch rates. While the schools have exceptionally low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, their academic performance is concerning, particularly at the elementary level.
Roy School has a tiny enrollment of just 15 students, and its proficiency rates in English Language Arts are significantly below the state average. In contrast, Roy 6-8 performs better, with 33.33% proficient or better in ELA, 50% in Math, and 50% in Science, though still below state averages. The middle school's enrollment is even smaller, with only 6 students, making it an exceptionally small institution.
Despite the high spending and low student-teacher ratios, the overall academic performance of these schools suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized to support student learning. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes and identify opportunities for improvement. The data provided does not include historical trends, which would be helpful to assess whether the current metrics are typical or if there have been any significant changes over time.
