Best Public Schools in Zip Code 64053


Summary:

The 64053 zip code area in Missouri is home to two schools - Van Horn High School and Fairmount Elementary School, both part of the Independence 30 school district. While Van Horn High is the only high school in the area, serving over 1,000 students, Fairmount Elementary is a smaller elementary school with just 312 students.

Both schools face significant challenges, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating economic disadvantage in the community.

With high per-student spending, targeted interventions and support programs could potentially help address the academic performance gaps observed at both schools. By understanding the unique context and needs of these communities, the Independence 30 school district can work to provide the resources and support necessary to help all students succeed.
