Summary:
The 74423 zip code area is home to two underperforming schools - Braggs Elementary School and Braggs High School, both of which serve students in the Braggs school district. These schools struggle across multiple metrics, including low academic achievement, high poverty rates, and poor overall performance compared to state averages.
Braggs Elementary and Braggs High are both ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state, with Braggs Elementary ranked 690 out of 957 elementary schools and Braggs High ranked 445 out of 463 high schools. Proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower at these schools compared to state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, only 6% of Braggs Elementary students were proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to the state average of 26%.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as both schools have very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, indicating a high-poverty student population. Chronic absenteeism is also a concern, with both schools reporting a rate of 19.0%, significantly higher than the state average. Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools have shown little to no improvement in their statewide rankings over the past several years, suggesting systemic challenges that need to be addressed to improve educational outcomes for students in this community.
