Summary:
The 63037 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Gerald Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 295 students. The school is part of the Gasconade County R-II school district, which is ranked 230 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Gerald Elementary is facing significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with declining rankings and proficiency rates that lag behind state averages. The school's 17.9% chronic absenteeism rate is concerning, and its test scores in mathematics, science, and English language arts are well below the state averages across multiple grade levels. Additionally, over 50% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high poverty levels that can present additional challenges.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4, its spending per student of $10,546 is lower than the national average, which may contribute to the academic underperformance observed. While the small class sizes could be a positive factor, the overall data suggests that Gerald Elementary needs to address these issues to improve the educational outcomes for its students.
