Summary:
The 63114 zip code area is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a predominantly non-White student population, with high rates of economic disadvantage as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch program. While the schools receive significant resources, as evidenced by the high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the academic performance of the students is a major concern.
The standout schools in this area include Ritenour Senior High, which has the largest student population but struggles with significantly lower test scores compared to state averages. Washington Elementary, part of the Normandy Schools Collaborative district, also has a predominantly African American student population and very low test scores. Similarly, Ritenour Middle has a diverse student body but academic performance that falls short of state standards.
The data suggests that the schools in the 63114 zip code area face significant challenges in addressing the educational needs of their students. The high rates of economic disadvantage, racial disparities, and poor academic performance indicate a need for targeted interventions and a closer examination of how resources are being utilized within the Ritenour and Normandy Schools Collaborative districts. Exploring opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices between these districts could potentially help address the common challenges faced by the schools in this area.
