Summary:
The 63033 zip code area in Missouri is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, spread across the Ferguson-Florissant R-II District and the Special School District of St. Louis County. The data reveals a concerning picture of educational inequity and underperformance in this area, with stark disparities in academic achievement compared to state averages.
A few schools stand out, including Halls Ferry Elementary and Robinwood Elementary, which have relatively stronger 3rd-5th grade MAP test scores than the district and state. However, most schools in the 63033 zip code area struggle with extremely low proficiency rates, especially in math, as well as very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 37.7% to 38.7%. Additionally, the two high schools, McCluer North High and North Technical, have alarmingly low 4-year graduation rates of 92.3% and 20.4%, respectively.
The data suggests that the 63033 zip code area faces significant challenges, including high levels of poverty and economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the extremely high free/reduced lunch rates across most schools. Addressing these systemic issues will require a comprehensive, community-wide effort to support students and families in this area and provide the resources and support needed to improve educational outcomes.
