Best Public Schools in Zip Code 87455

Summary:

The schools in zip code 87455 paint a concerning picture, with all four schools - two elementary, one middle, and one high school - performing well below state averages across multiple metrics. The student population in this area is overwhelmingly Native American, with very low representation of other racial and ethnic groups, suggesting a lack of diversity that may impact educational experiences and opportunities.

Across the board, the schools in this data set have consistently low statewide rankings, with Newcomb High School ranking 169th out of 170 high schools in the state and Newcomb Middle School ranking 230th out of 239 middle schools. The elementary schools, Newcomb Elementary and Tohaali' Community School, also have low rankings, with Newcomb Elementary ranked 384th out of 435 and Tohaali' Community School not having a ranking provided.

The economic disadvantage faced by the student population is evident, with all the schools in this data set having extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 97.03% to 100%. This suggests that the community served by these Central Consolidated Schools and Tohaali' Community School districts is in need of significant support and intervention to improve educational outcomes and opportunities for the students.
