Summary:
The 74338 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools (Colcord Elementary School and Moseley Public School) and 1 high school (Colcord High School). While Colcord Elementary School stands out as the strongest performer, with higher test scores and a better overall ranking compared to the state, the other schools in the area face significant academic challenges.
Colcord Elementary School outperformed the state average in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math, but its high chronic absenteeism rate is a concern. In contrast, Moseley Public School struggled academically, with only 15% and 21% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Math, respectively. Colcord High School also had significantly lower test scores compared to the state average, with only 23% of 11th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts and 8% in Math.
The high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools suggest that these communities face significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the academic struggles observed. Additionally, the disparities in per-student spending between the elementary and high school levels within the Colcord district warrant further investigation to ensure equitable resource allocation and support for all students.
