Best Public Schools in Zip Code 73092

The 73092 zip code area is home to two schools - Verden Elementary School and Verden High School, both part of the Verden school district. While the elementary school shows some strengths, particularly in 6th grade math and science, both schools face challenges with chronic absenteeism and serve a predominantly low-income student population.

Verden Elementary School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 19%, but its 6th grade students outperform the state average in math and science proficiency. However, the school's overall ELA proficiency lags behind. In contrast, Verden High School struggles with math proficiency, with only 3% of 11th graders meeting or exceeding standards, well below the state average of 18%. The high school's 4-year graduation rate of 82.2% is a positive indicator, but its overall ranking has fluctuated in recent years.

Both schools serve a high-need student population, with a significant percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch - 72.94% at Verden Elementary School and 56.52% at Verden High School. This socioeconomic factor may be contributing to the schools' performance challenges and the need for additional resources and support to address the stark contrast in math proficiency between the elementary and high school levels.
