Summary:
The 63353 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, the data reveals stark differences in school performance within the district.
Louisiana Elementary and Louisiana High appear to be struggling, with low test scores and rankings. In contrast, Louisiana Middle School stands out as a relative bright spot, ranking in the top third of Missouri middle schools and performing better on state assessments. The small BONCL Elementary also shows promise, with a very low student-teacher ratio and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the area.
Across the schools, high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch suggest the district serves a population facing significant economic challenges. The district should work to address chronic absenteeism and improve academic performance, while also ensuring equitable access to resources and support for all students. By learning from the successes of schools like Louisiana Middle and BONCL Elementary, the district may be able to develop strategies to uplift the entire community.
