Summary:
The 73082 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Rush Springs school district. While the Rush Springs Elementary School has shown strong performance in science and math, the Rush Springs Middle School and Rush Springs High School face more significant challenges, with low proficiency rates across multiple subjects.
The elementary school stands out for its 72% of 5th graders proficient or better in science, significantly higher than the state average of 33%. It has also performed well in 3rd and 4th grade math, with 43-44% of students proficient or better, compared to the state average of 34-35%. In contrast, the middle and high schools struggle, with only 13% and 9% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and math, respectively.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates are higher than the state's target, and the elementary and middle schools have very high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating significant economic disadvantages among the student populations. The district's SchoolDigger ratings have also declined over time, suggesting challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance. Addressing these issues, particularly the low performance at the middle and high school levels, may be key priorities for the Rush Springs school district moving forward.
