Summary:
The 65806 zip code area in Missouri is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. While the schools in this area face significant challenges, there are a few standout institutions that warrant closer attention.
Moca-S, the alternative school, has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 91.8% and a low dropout rate of 1.3%, which are positive indicators. However, the school's academic performance is concerning, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the Sturgeon R-V district and the state of Missouri. Jarrett Middle School has shown improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom 25% to the bottom 33% of Missouri middle schools, but its academic performance and chronic absenteeism rate of 25.9% remain areas of concern. McGregor Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of Missouri elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts compared to the Springfield R-Xii district and the state.
The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance among the schools, with Moca-S and McGregor Elementary consistently underperforming. High chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19.9% to 25.9%, are a concerning trend that likely contributes to the low academic achievement. Additionally, the schools serve a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 54.11% to 89.67%, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by these students.
