Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63139

Summary:

The 63139 zip code area of St. Louis, Missouri is home to 11 schools, including 7 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 3 high schools. This diverse educational landscape features a mix of high-performing and lower-performing institutions, with stark contrasts in school quality and student outcomes.

At the top of the pack are Mallinckrodt A.B.I. Elementary and Betty Wheeler Classical Junior Ac, both ranked among the best elementary schools in Missouri and earning 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools boast exceptional test scores, with 84-97.7% of students proficient or better in math and 89.3-95.4% proficient or better in English Language Arts. In contrast, several schools in the area face significant challenges, with chronic absenteeism rates exceeding 50% and over 98% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

The data also highlights the strong performance of charter and magnet schools in the 63139 zip code. Gateway Science Academy High and Gateway Science Academy Middle, both charter schools, are ranked highly, while Collegiate School Of Med/Bio, a magnet high school, is ranked 11th out of 378 Missouri high schools. These schools demonstrate the potential for innovative educational models to thrive in the area. However, the wide range in per-student spending, from $12,265 to $23,742, suggests that funding disparities may also play a role in the performance gaps between schools.
