Summary:
The 63388 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Williamsburg Elementary, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 167 students. While the school has a relatively diverse student population, with 88.02% white, 2.99% Hispanic, 0.6% African American, and 8.38% identifying as two or more races, its academic performance lags behind state and district averages.
Williamsburg Elementary's test scores are concerning, with 3rd-grade math proficiency at just 7.6%, compared to 25% for the North Callaway County R-I district and 41.1% for the state of Missouri. The school's 5th-grade math proficiency rate is also low at 11.5%, well below the district's 13.3% and the state's 39.1%. In English Language Arts, the 3rd-grade proficiency rate is 15.4%, and the 5th-grade proficiency rate is 30.7%, both significantly below state averages.
Despite the school's low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1, which could be a potential advantage, Williamsburg Elementary's academic performance has been declining over the past three years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 596 out of 901 Missouri elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 737 out of 898 in 2022-2023. The high rate of free and reduced lunch recipients, at 58.68%, suggests the school serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which may contribute to the lower academic achievement observed.
