Summary:

The 99117 zip code area is home to two schools - Creston Junior-Senior High School and Creston Elementary, both part of the Creston School District. While the high school stands out for its strong academic performance, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates, the elementary school lags behind in several key metrics.

Creston Junior-Senior High School impresses with its 79.17% proficiency in English Language Arts, 41.67% in Math, and 60% in Science (11th grade), outperforming the district and state averages. The school also boasts a 90% four-year graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate, indicating a high level of student success. In contrast, Creston Elementary struggles academically, with only 50% proficiency in English Language Arts, 34.62% in Math, and 45.45% in Science, falling behind the district and state benchmarks.

While Creston Elementary spends more per student ($35,303) compared to the high school ($32,361), it maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.3, suggesting a focus on individualized attention. However, this additional investment does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. The demographic differences between the two schools, with the high school having a higher percentage of White students, may also be an area worth further investigation to understand any potential contributing factors.
