Summary:
The 63385 zip code area is home to 16 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools, all part of the highly ranked Wentzville R-IV and Francis Howell R-III school districts. The data reveals a mix of top-performing and struggling schools, with standouts like Timberland High and North Point High ranking among the best in the state, while others, such as Heritage Intermediate, face challenges.
The high schools in the area boast impressive 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 96% to 96%, and very low dropout rates, with just 1% at Timberland High, Emil E. Holt Senior High, and North Point High. However, the data also reveals a concerning trend of higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the area.
The performance gap between the highest and lowest-performing schools is significant, with Daniel Boone Elementary (part of the Francis Howell R-III district) ranking among the top 36 elementary schools in Missouri, while Heritage Intermediate struggles to meet state standards. This disparity appears to be linked to factors such as socioeconomic status and funding, as the schools with the highest free and reduced lunch rates and lower per-student spending tend to have the poorest academic outcomes.
