Summary:
The 63452 zip code area is home to two schools - Highland Elementary and Highland Junior-Senior High, both part of the Lewis County C-1 school district. While the schools serve a predominantly white student population, they consistently perform below the state average on standardized tests, with Highland Elementary scoring 21.2% proficient or better in 3rd grade math compared to the state average of 41.1%.
Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as Highland Elementary has a higher free/reduced lunch rate of 49.33% compared to 37.53% at Highland Junior-Senior High. Additionally, the Lewis County C-1 school district as a whole is ranked 268 out of 376 districts in Missouri and rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, suggesting systemic challenges that impact individual school performance.
Overall, the data indicates that the schools in the 63452 zip code area face significant academic challenges and may benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes. The lack of diversity and consistently below-average test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels highlight the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to the underperformance of these schools.
