Summary:
The city of St. Peters, Missouri is home to 12 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals that the schools in the Fort Zumwalt School District are consistently high-performing, with two of their high schools, Ft. Zumwalt South High and Ft. Zumwalt East High, ranking among the top 26 high schools in Missouri. These schools boast impressive graduation rates of 94.3%, well above the state average.
At the elementary level, Warren Elementary stands out as a top performer, ranking 31st out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and consistently exceeding district and state averages on MAP assessments. However, not all elementary schools in the area are performing at the same level, with some, such as Lewis Clark Elementary and Hawthorn Elementary, struggling to meet state and district benchmarks.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism is a concern, with rates ranging from 16.5% to 17.6% for most schools and reaching as high as 50.7% for the alternative school, Boonslick. Additionally, the wide range of free and reduced lunch rates, from 9.19% at Warren Elementary to 68.42% at Boonslick, suggests potential inequities in the distribution of resources and support for students from low-income families.
