Both Chaffee Elementary and Chaffee Junior-Senior High have high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, at 47% and 52% respectively, suggesting a low-income student population. Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools are struggling academically, with Chaffee Elementary and Chaffee Junior-Senior High both rated as 1-star schools out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The Chaffee R-II school district as a whole is ranked 319 out of 376 districts in Missouri, indicating that the academic challenges faced by these schools are not isolated but rather reflective of broader district-wide issues.

The data suggests that the schools in the 63740 zip code area are in need of significant improvement to provide their students with a high-quality education. Addressing the underlying factors contributing to the low academic performance, such as the high rates of poverty and the overall district-level challenges, will be crucial in helping these schools and the broader Chaffee R-II community achieve better outcomes for their students.
