Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63104

Summary:

The 63104 zip code area of St. Louis, Missouri is home to 16 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 3 high schools, providing a diverse educational landscape for the local community. While the majority of these schools serve students from low-income backgrounds, as indicated by high free/reduced lunch rates, a few standout institutions, such as Collegiate School Of Med/Bio and Lafayette Preparatory Academy, consistently demonstrate exceptional academic performance, ranking among the top schools in the state.

Collegiate School Of Med/Bio, a high school, has been a consistent top performer, ranking 8th out of 352 Missouri high schools in 2022-2023 and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite having a high percentage (99.1%) of free/reduced lunch recipients, the school's students excel academically, with impressive proficiency rates in core subjects. In contrast, several other schools in the area, such as Lift For Life Academy and Peabody Elementary, struggle with very low proficiency rates, often below 20% in core subjects.

The data also reveals that public charter schools, like Lafayette Preparatory Academy and The Soulard School, tend to have stronger academic performance compared to traditional public schools in the same area, despite serving a diverse student population. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school autonomy, innovation, and parental choice, may play a significant role in driving student outcomes in the 63104 zip code.
