Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63118

Summary:

The 63118 zip code area of St. Louis, Missouri is home to 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. This diverse set of schools serves a predominantly African American student population, with many facing significant challenges in academic performance and socioeconomic disadvantage.

Among the standout schools, Kairos Academies, a public charter middle school, has the highest statewide ranking and a relatively diverse student population. In contrast, Roosevelt High has the lowest statewide ranking, despite also serving a diverse student body. The KIPP Wisdom Academy and KIPP Wonder Academy, both public charter elementary schools, have the lowest statewide rankings and very high percentages of African American students.

The data reveals stark disparities in academic performance, with many schools in the 63118 zip code performing well below state averages in mathematics and English language arts proficiency. This is likely linked to the high rates of economic disadvantage, as indicated by the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. The presence of public charter schools, such as those operated by KIPP St Louis Public Schools and Kairos Academies, suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the educational challenges faced by this community.
