Summary:
The 65652 zip code area is home to three schools - Fordland Elementary, Fordland High, and Fordland Middle, all part of the Fordland R-III school district. While the high school stands out with its strong graduation rate and English proficiency, the elementary and middle schools face some academic challenges that warrant attention.
Fordland High School is the top performer in the area, ranking 174 out of 378 Missouri high schools and earning a 3-star rating. Its 95.2% four-year graduation rate is particularly impressive, and the school outperformed the state average in English I proficiency. However, the school struggled with Algebra I, with only 14.7% of students scoring proficient or better, compared to 41.5% statewide.
Fordland Elementary School had mixed results, with some grades exceeding state averages in Mathematics and English Language Arts, while others fell short. The school's strengths include outperforming the state in 3rd and 4th grade Mathematics proficiency, as well as a relatively low student-teacher ratio. However, the school's high free/reduced lunch rate of 49.12% suggests a need for additional support and resources. Meanwhile, Fordland Middle School consistently underperformed the state average in Mathematics and English Language Arts across all grades, indicating a need for targeted interventions.
