Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63468

Summary:

The 63468 zip code area in Shelby County, Missouri is home to three schools - one elementary, one middle, and one high school - all part of the Shelby County R-IV school district. While the schools show some areas of strength, such as the relatively high graduation rate at South Shelby High School, the data also reveals challenges that the district may need to address, including low proficiency rates in math and science and higher-than-average chronic absenteeism.

Among the standout schools, South Shelby Middle School stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and relatively strong performance on state assessments, particularly in 6th grade math and 8th grade English language arts. In contrast, South Shelby High School has a 2-star rating but boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 93.4% and strong performance on the Algebra II End of Course exam.

Across the district, the schools face challenges with high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.98% at South Shelby High to 55.78% at South Shelby Elementary. This suggests that the schools serve a population with significant economic challenges, which may contribute to the academic performance and attendance issues observed. The data highlights opportunities for the district to focus its efforts on addressing chronic absenteeism, boosting math and science proficiency, and exploring strategies to support students from low-income backgrounds.
