Summary:
The 64024 zip code area in Excelsior Springs, Missouri is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, all part of the Excelsior Springs 40 school district. While the district as a whole is ranked 215 out of 386 in the state, a few standout schools in the area demonstrate both strengths and areas for improvement.
Excelsior Springs High School is the top-performing high school in the zip code, ranked 164 out of 378 Missouri high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 96.6% and low dropout rate of 1.0%, while also outperforming the district and state averages on several End of Course exams, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, Excelsior Springs Technical High School stands out as an outlier, with the lowest statewide ranking, test scores, and student-teacher ratio in the area.
At the elementary and middle school level, Elkhorn Elementary outperforms the district and state on several 3rd and 5th grade assessments, particularly in Mathematics. However, the other elementary and middle schools in the 64024 zip code generally perform below state averages, which could indicate a need for curriculum or instructional improvements. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools in the area are concerning and may be contributing to the lower academic performance, suggesting attendance should be a focus for the district.
