Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63037

Summary:

The 63037 zip code area has only one public elementary school, Gerald Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 295 students. The school has a predominantly white student population, with low representation of other racial groups. While the school's student-teacher ratio is relatively low, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in math and English language arts, lags behind district and state averages.

Gerald Elementary's math and ELA proficiency rates are consistently lower than the district and state averages, indicating that students are struggling to meet grade-level standards. The school also has a high percentage of students (51.86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This factor may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance.

Additionally, Gerald Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped significantly, from 210th out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 655th out of 898 in 2022-2023, indicating a decline in the school's performance relative to other elementary schools in the state. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, this factor alone does not seem to be translating into higher academic achievement for the students at Gerald Elementary.
