Best Public Schools in Zip Code 73547

The 73547 zip code area is served by two schools - Granite Elementary School and Granite High School, both part of the Granite school district. These schools serve a small, rural community, with relatively low enrollment numbers of 154 and 76 students, respectively.

Granite Elementary School outperforms the district and state averages in math and science proficiency, but both schools have chronic absenteeism rates of 19.0%, which is a concern. Granite High School's test scores are mostly below the state averages, except for US History. The free/reduced lunch rates are very high for both schools, at 76.62% for Granite Elementary and 63.16% for Granite High School, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Spending per student is relatively low for Granite Elementary compared to Granite High School, which may contribute to the differences in academic performance.

Overall, the data suggests that while Granite Elementary School is performing better than the district and state in some areas, both schools are facing challenges related to chronic absenteeism, low district rankings, and serving economically disadvantaged communities. The small size of the schools and low student-teacher ratios could be positive factors, but the schools will need to address the areas of concern to improve student outcomes.
