Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63139

Summary:

The 63139 zip code area of St. Louis, Missouri is home to 10 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. This area showcases a stark contrast in academic performance, with several standout schools like Mallinckrodt A.B.I. Elementary and Betty Wheeler Classical Junior Ac ranking among the top elementary schools in the state, while others like Central Visual/Perf. Arts High and Shaw Visual/Perf. Arts Center struggle with lower performance.

The data reveals that several schools in the 63139 area serve a high percentage of students from low-income families, with free and reduced lunch rates exceeding 98% at some schools. This suggests that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in the educational outcomes of these students. Additionally, the wide range in spending per student, from $12,265 at Gateway Science Academy/St Louis to $23,742 at Wilkinson Early Childhood Center, indicates potential funding disparities that may impact the resources and opportunities available to students.

The data also highlights the strong performance of the Gateway Science Academy schools, both at the elementary and secondary levels, suggesting that the charter school model may be providing a valuable alternative for families in the area. Overall, the educational landscape in the 63139 zip code area is complex, with both high-performing and low-performing schools, and the need for targeted interventions and support to address the disparities in educational opportunities and resources.
