Summary:
The 64050 zip code area in Independence, Missouri is home to 5 schools, including 4 elementary schools and 1 high school, all part of the Independence 30 school district. The data reveals stark differences in school performance, with Mill Creek Elementary standing out as the top-performing school in the area, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly outpacing the district and state averages on test scores. In contrast, Bryant Elementary is the lowest-performing school, earning just a 1-star rating and struggling with proficiency rates well below the district and state.
Across the schools, there are some concerning trends, such as high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 31.7% to 31.7%, and high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, particularly at the elementary schools. The data also suggests that district-level factors may be contributing to the overall challenges faced by these schools, as they all share similar performance metrics. However, the standout success of Mill Creek Elementary provides a potential model for effective practices that could be replicated at other schools in the district.
Overall, the data paints a complex picture of the schools in the 64050 zip code area, with both areas of strength and significant challenges that warrant further investigation and targeted interventions to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.
