Summary:
The 63109 zip code area of St. Louis, Missouri is home to 3 schools: 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school. While these schools serve a predominantly high-need student population, with over 96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the performance of the schools varies significantly.
Buder Elementary stands out as the strongest performer, with relatively high test scores compared to the St. Louis City and Missouri averages, particularly in 3rd and 5th grade math and ELA. In contrast, Busch Middle School Character Athletics and Community Access Job Training struggle, with very low test scores and rankings. Community Access Job Training also has the highest spending per student at $32,417, but this does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes.
The stark differences in racial makeup across the three schools, with Buder Elementary being the most diverse and Community Access Job Training having an 82.14% African American student population, highlight the potential for segregation and unequal educational opportunities within the 63109 zip code area. Overall, the data suggests that while the schools in this area face significant challenges in serving a high-need student population, Buder Elementary is the standout performer, while the other two schools are struggling to meet the needs of their students.
