Best Public Schools in Zip Code 64061

The 64061 zip code area is home to two schools - Kingsville Elementary and Kingsville High, both of which are part of the Kingsville R-I school district. Unfortunately, the data suggests these schools are performing significantly below average compared to state-level metrics, with both institutions ranked in the bottom 15% and 10% of Missouri elementary and high schools, respectively.

Kingsville Elementary has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and struggles with low proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels, with only 23.9% of 3rd graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 40.8%. Similarly, Kingsville High has a 0-star rating and an abysmal 5% proficiency rate in 8th grade English Language Arts, far below the state average of 42.1%. Both schools also have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratios and high per-student spending, the schools in the 64061 zip code area have consistently performed poorly on statewide assessments and rankings, with little to no improvement over the past few years. This suggests a systemic issue within the district that needs to be addressed, potentially through a more effective allocation and utilization of resources, as well as targeted interventions to address the underlying factors contributing to the chronic underperformance of these schools.
