Summary:
The 74942 zip code area is home to two public schools - Leflore Elementary School (PK-8) and Leflore High School (9-12) - both of which are part of the Le Flore school district. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as these schools consistently rank in the bottom quarter of their respective school types in the state and struggle with low proficiency rates, high chronic absenteeism, and extremely high free/reduced lunch rates.
Leflore Elementary School has only 6% proficiency in English Language Arts and Mathematics, compared to the state average of 26%, while Leflore High School fares slightly better but still lags behind, with 17% proficiency in ELA and 0% in Math. Both schools also have high chronic absenteeism rates of 19.0% and serve student populations where nearly all (over 98%) qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the low performance, the schools appear to be spending relatively high amounts per student, with Leflore High spending over $12,000 per student.
Overall, the data suggests that the schools in the 74942 zip code area face significant challenges in supporting their students' academic and non-academic needs. Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help these underperforming schools and their students succeed. While the data does not provide insight into the specific reasons for the schools' struggles, it is clear that more must be done to ensure all students in this area have access to a high-quality education.
