Summary:
The 64019 zip code area is home to two schools - Crest Ridge High and Crest Ridge Elementary, both part of the Johnson County R-Vii district. While Crest Ridge High has a strong 97.6% graduation rate and outperforms the state on certain math tests, both schools face challenges, including declining state rankings, low proficiency rates, and high chronic absenteeism.
Crest Ridge High School stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate and lower-than-average dropout rate, but its state-wide ranking has fluctuated over the years. On the other hand, Crest Ridge Elementary School has seen a significant decline in its state-wide ranking, dropping from 291st out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 642nd out of 906 in 2023-2024. This is reflected in the school's lower proficiency rates on 3rd-5th grade MAP tests compared to state averages.
Both schools face challenges related to socioeconomic factors, with high free/reduced lunch rates of over 40%. This could be a contributing factor to the academic performance and may require targeted interventions and support. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates at both schools, reaching 14.7% for the 2023-2024 school year, are a concern that may impact student learning and achievement.
