Summary:
The 63841 zip code area is home to 6 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school. These schools serve a predominantly white student population and vary in their academic performance, socioeconomic factors, and resource allocation.
Two standout schools in the area are Central Elementary, which ranks 291 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and outperforms state and district averages in several MAP test categories, and T.S. Hill Middle, which ranks 177 out of 459 Missouri middle schools and also outperforms state and district averages in 6th and 8th grade English Language Arts MAP tests. Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, suggesting a focus on personalized attention.
The schools in the 63841 zip code serve a mix of socioeconomic backgrounds, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 21.43% at Crowley Ridge School to 60% at Southwest Elementary Preschool. The district appears to allocate resources fairly, with consistent spending per student across the schools. However, the variation in student-teacher ratios, from 7:1 at Crowley Ridge School to 14.1:1 at Dexter High, suggests differences in staffing levels or teaching approaches that could be further explored.
