Summary:
The 64114 zip code area in Missouri is home to 6 schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the schools show a mix of high and low performance, a few standout institutions emerge from the data.
Hale Cook Elementary and Red Bridge Elementary are the top-performing elementary schools in the area, ranking 340th and 457th out of 906 Missouri elementary schools, respectively. Both schools have maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Center Middle lags behind the elementary schools, with much lower proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts.
The data also reveals some concerning trends, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 36.7% to 55% across the schools, and generally lower test scores, particularly in mathematics, compared to state averages. Additionally, most of the schools have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. While spending per student varies, the data does not show a clear correlation between higher spending and better academic performance.
