Summary:

The 68620 zip code is home to a single high school, Boone Central High School, which serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Boone Central Schools district. While the school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, it has made progress in improving student academic achievement, particularly in ACT proficiency rates.

Boone Central High School has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate, going from a 3-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 1-star rating in the following two years. However, the school's ACT proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science have improved, exceeding the statewide averages in 2024-2025. The school's 4-year graduation rate was 87.9% in 2024-2025, and it had a relatively high per-student spending of $21,090 in 2023-2024. Despite these positive indicators, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.3% in 2024-2025 is a concern that may impact student learning and outcomes.

As the only high school in the 68620 zip code, Boone Central High School's small size of 204 students may have implications for the breadth of course offerings and extracurricular activities available to students. The school's performance and resource allocation suggest a focus on supporting student success, but the high chronic absenteeism rate and fluctuating statewide ranking indicate areas that may require further attention and improvement.
