Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63801


Summary:

The 63801 zip code area is home to 11 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving a diverse student population with a significant percentage of African American and Hispanic students. While some schools, such as Sikeston Senior High School and Sikeston Junior High School, perform relatively well, the overall academic performance of the schools in this area is mixed, with several schools ranked in the bottom quartile of Missouri schools.

The data reveals a stark contrast in the performance and rankings of the schools within the same Sikeston R-6 district. Lee Hunter Elementary stands out as the highest-performing elementary school, with the best proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts, as well as a relatively lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients. In contrast, the other schools in the district struggle, with several ranked in the bottom quartile of Missouri schools.

The extremely high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 97.83% to 99.7%, across the schools suggest that the majority of the students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which can significantly impact their educational outcomes. This raises concerns about equity and the distribution of resources and support among the schools in the 63801 zip code area, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student learning and academic achievement across the board.
