Summary:
The 57476 zip code area is home to two schools - Hitchcock-Tulare High School and Hitchcock-Tulare Junior High School, both part of the Hitchcock Tulare School District 56-6. While the district is ranked 37th out of 147 in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars, the individual schools appear to be underperforming compared to state averages on key metrics like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
Hitchcock-Tulare High School had a 86.4% four-year graduation rate in 2024-2025, which is below the state average. Its students scored significantly below the state average in English Language Arts (43.75% proficient vs 63.84% state), Math (18.75% vs 36.27%), and Science (37.5% vs 48.95%) on the 2024-2025 Smarter Balanced Assessments. Hitchcock-Tulare Junior High School students also scored below the state average in these subjects. Both schools have relatively small enrollments, with the high school having 62 students and the junior high having 22 students.
Despite the high spending per student ($16,323 for the high school and $11,955 for the junior high), the schools' outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with the level of investment. This suggests the district and schools may be facing challenges in providing a quality education to their students. Further investigation would be needed to determine the root causes of the schools' struggles and identify potential strategies for improvement.
