Summary:
The 64129 zip code area in Missouri is home to two elementary schools - Rogers Elementary and Eastwood Hills Elementary. Both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools over the past three years, indicating significant challenges in providing quality education to their students.
The schools' proficiency rates in core subjects like Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts are significantly lower than the state and district averages. For example, at Rogers Elementary, the proficiency rates for 3rd-6th grade students ranged from 7.5% to 21.7% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to state averages of 37.6% to 46.2%. Both schools also face high chronic absenteeism rates, with Rogers Elementary at 55.0% and Eastwood Hills Elementary at 34.7%, which are much higher than the state and district averages.
While Rogers Elementary spends more per student than Eastwood Hills Elementary, this higher funding does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. Both schools serve predominantly economically disadvantaged communities, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the root causes of the low performance, such as socioeconomic factors and attendance issues, will be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for these schools.
