Summary:
The 63552 zip code area is home to three schools - Macon Elementary, Macon Senior High, and Macon Middle School, all part of the Macon County R-I district. While the schools have some areas of strength, they also face common challenges, particularly around attendance rates.
Macon Senior High stands out with its impressive 90.8% 4-year graduation rate and strong performance in Algebra II, where 80.8% of students are proficient or better, significantly higher than the state average. Macon Middle School also excels, ranking 197 out of 451 Missouri middle schools and performing well in 6th and 7th grade mathematics, as well as having a noteworthy 95% Algebra I proficiency rate. In contrast, Macon Elementary has had mixed results on MAP assessments, with some grades exceeding state averages while others fall behind.
A common challenge across all three schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 13.3%, which is a concern and may require targeted interventions. Additionally, the schools vary in their socioeconomic factors, with Macon Elementary having the highest percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients at 46.3%, compared to 29.91% at Macon Senior High and 37.76% at Macon Middle School. This suggests the need for further exploration of the relationship between socioeconomic status and educational outcomes in the area.
