Summary:
The 63115 zip code area in Missouri is home to 6 struggling schools, including 5 elementary schools and 1 middle school. Despite high spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratios, these schools are consistently underperforming, with very low proficiency rates on state assessments and poor overall rankings compared to other schools in the state.
The best-performing school in the area is North Side Community School, which ranks 783 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, even this school has proficiency rates of only around 20% in math and English language arts. The middle school, Yeatman-Liddell Middle School, is the lowest-performing in the area, ranking 458 out of 459 Missouri middle schools with proficiency rates below 6% in core subjects.
The data paints a concerning picture of the educational landscape in the 63115 zip code area. All the schools serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 98-99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite the high spending and low student-teacher ratios, the schools are simply not delivering good educational outcomes for their students. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and staffing levels may be contributing to the poor performance, and significant interventions and support are needed to improve the educational opportunities for students in this community, which is served by the North Side Community School and St. Louis City school districts.
