Summary:
The 63135 zip code area is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. While the high school, Steam Academy at MSB High School, is a standout performer with consistently high state rankings and test scores, the other schools in the area are struggling significantly.
The middle and elementary schools, such as Ferguson Middle, Johnson Wabash 6th Grade Center, Griffith Elementary, and Lee Hamilton Elementary, have very low test scores and are ranked in the bottom 10-20% of schools statewide. This stark contrast in performance suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic and resource challenges faced by these struggling schools.
Across all the schools in the 63135 zip code area, there are high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, indicating that the students face significant socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the schools have a predominantly African American student population, raising questions about equity and access to quality education for this community. The Ferguson-Florissant R-II district must prioritize addressing these disparities and ensuring that all students in the area have the resources and support they need to succeed.
