Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63125

Summary:

The 63125 zip code area is home to 11 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with Mosaic Elementary standing out as the top-ranked school in the area, while Hancock Senior High and Hancock Place Middle struggle with lower academic proficiency and higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Mosaic Elementary stands out as the top-performing school, ranking 39th out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly outperforms the Mehlville R-IX district and the state in both math and English language arts proficiency, while maintaining a low free/reduced lunch rate of just 8.1%. In contrast, Hancock Senior High and Hancock Place Middle, which are part of the Hancock Place district, have the highest free/reduced lunch rates in the area at 91% and 92.17%, respectively, and generally lower academic performance.

The data also reveals that spending per student does not necessarily correlate with academic performance, as Mosaic Elementary, the top-performing school, has a lower spending per student than Hancock Place Elementary, which has lower academic performance. Additionally, the student-teacher ratio does not appear to be a significant factor in academic achievement, as schools with varying ratios show diverse levels of proficiency.
