Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63120

Summary:

The 63120 zip code area of St. Louis, Missouri is home to two struggling elementary schools: Walbridge Elementary Community Education and Aspire Academy.

Both schools also have extremely high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, suggesting their student populations come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
