Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63127

Summary:

The 63127 zip code area is home to two schools - South Technical High School and Truman Middle School. Based on the available data, Truman Middle School stands out as the stronger performer, ranking in the top 20% of Missouri middle schools and maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 3 years. In contrast, South Technical High School has lower state-wide rankings and a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate.

Truman Middle School's academic performance is particularly impressive, with test scores exceeding the state and district averages across multiple subjects and grade levels, especially in mathematics and Algebra I. The school is part of the highly-ranked Lindbergh Schools district, which is ranked 20 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. This suggests that the district-level factors play a significant role in the school's strong performance.

While South Technical High School has a higher per-student spending of $65,024 compared to Truman Middle School's $11,220 per student, this disparity in resources does not appear to translate into better academic outcomes. Additionally, South Technical High School's chronic absenteeism rate of 37.7% is a concern and may be an area for further investigation to understand the underlying causes and implement strategies to improve attendance.
