Summary:

The 59829 zip code is home to a single high school, Darby High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Darby K-12 Schools district. With only 116 students, Darby High School is a relatively small high school, but it faces some notable challenges in terms of academic performance and school ratings.

Darby High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 117th out of 182 high schools in the 2024-2025 school year to 108th out of 122 in 2023-2024 and 116th out of 124 in 2022-2023. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, from 2 stars in 2024-2025 to 1 star in 2023-2024 and 0 stars in 2022-2023. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the ACT with Writing exam are below the state averages in all three subject areas (English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science) for the 2024-2025 school year.

Despite its small size, Darby High School has a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 13.1, which may suggest smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. However, the school also serves a population with significant economic challenges, as indicated by the high percentage (100%) of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. These factors, combined with the school's fluctuating performance and academic underperformance, suggest that Darby High School may require targeted interventions and support to address the needs of its students and improve their educational outcomes.
