Best Public Schools in Zip Code 63960

Summary:

The 63960 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one of which is a technical high school), and no alternative schools. The schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population, with relatively high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Among the schools, Puxico Junior High and Puxico Elementary stand out as the strongest performers, consistently ranking in the top half of Missouri schools in their respective categories. These schools have above-average proficiency rates in math and science, particularly in the upper elementary grades. In contrast, Mingo Puxico Technical High appears to be the weakest performer, ranking near the bottom of Missouri high schools and having very low proficiency rates.

The data also reveals that spending per student varies significantly, with Mingo Puxico Technical High spending over $42,000 per student, while Puxico High and Puxico Junior High spend around $9,000-$10,000 per student. However, this higher spending does not seem to translate to better academic outcomes for the technical high school. Overall, the Puxico R-VIII district appears to have a mix of strong and struggling schools, with the need for additional support and intervention for the underperforming schools.
