Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63829

Summary:

The 63829 zip code area is home to two underperforming schools, Southland Elementary and Southland High, which serve students from the Southland C-9 school district. Both schools are ranked significantly below the state average, with Southland Elementary ranked 825 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and Southland High ranked 304 out of 460 Missouri high schools.

Academically, students at both Southland Elementary and Southland High perform well below the state average in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) across all tested grades. This underperformance is coupled with extremely high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, at 97.97% and 97.03%, respectively, indicating that the student population comes from low-income households, which can have a significant impact on educational outcomes.

Despite the relatively high spending per student ($12,940 at Southland Elementary and $14,615 at Southland High) and low student-teacher ratios (15.3 at Southland Elementary and 8.4 at Southland High), the schools are still struggling to achieve better academic results. This suggests that the combination of low academic performance, high poverty levels, and the small size of the school district may present significant challenges in improving the quality of education for students in this area.
