Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63957

Summary:

The 63957 zip code area is home to three public schools - Clearwater Elementary, Clearwater Middle, and Clearwater High - all part of the Clearwater R-I school district. Unfortunately, these schools appear to be consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores, poor statewide rankings, and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Across all three schools, proficiency rates in mathematics, science, and English language arts are significantly below state averages, with the highest proficiency rate being 45.7% in 3rd grade English language arts at Clearwater Elementary, still below the state average of 42.4%. The schools also have low statewide rankings, with Clearwater Elementary ranked 516 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools, Clearwater Middle ranked 358 out of 459 Missouri middle schools, and Clearwater High ranked 186 out of 361 Missouri high schools. Additionally, the Clearwater R-I school district as a whole is ranked 264 out of 376 districts in Missouri and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Another concerning trend is the declining performance of the individual schools, with Clearwater Elementary's statewide ranking dropping from 270 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 516 out of 898 in 2022-2023, and Clearwater Middle's statewide ranking declining from 287 out of 459 Missouri middle schools in 2021-2022 to 358 out of 459 in 2022-2023. The schools also lack diversity, with the student racial demographics across all three schools being overwhelmingly white, ranging from 94.2% to 94.98% white students.
