Summary:
The 63080 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving a predominantly white student population. While the schools generally perform above the state averages on standardized tests, there are notable standouts and areas of concern.
The top-performing schools in the area are Spring Bluff Elementary and Strain-Japan Elementary, which have consistently ranked among the best in Missouri. These smaller, rural schools boast impressive academic achievements, with over 90% of their students proficient or better in math on state assessments. In contrast, Sullivan Senior High lags behind the state in several subjects, raising concerns about its declining performance in recent years.
The schools in this area also exhibit significant socioeconomic differences, as evidenced by the wide range of free and reduced-price lunch rates, from 10.75% at Spring Bluff Elementary to 58.48% at Sullivan Primary. This disparity may contribute to the academic performance gaps observed across the district, which includes schools from the Sullivan, Spring Bluff R-XV, and Strain-Japan R-XVI districts.
