Summary:
The 63343 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Elsberry R-II school district. While the middle school (Ida Cannon Middle) and high school (Elsberry High) show relatively strong performance, the elementary school (Clarence Cannon Elementary) lags behind, ranking in the bottom third of Missouri elementary schools.
Ida Cannon Middle School stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 207 out of 451 Missouri middle schools. Its test scores in math and English language arts are generally higher than the district and state averages. Elsberry High School also impresses with a very high 4-year graduation rate of 97.9%, significantly above the state average, and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
However, all three schools share a concerning issue - high chronic absenteeism rates of 21.1%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, as evidenced by the high free/reduced lunch rates, especially at the elementary school. Addressing attendance and socioeconomic factors could be key to improving overall performance and outcomes for students in this area.
