Summary:
The 64057 zip code area in Missouri is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 3 middle schools. The data analysis reveals stark differences in performance between the elementary and middle schools in this region.
Blackburn Elementary stands out as a top performer, ranking 379 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and outperforming the Independence 30 district and state averages in several key test score metrics. In contrast, the middle schools generally underperformed the district and state averages in mathematics and English language arts. Little Blue Elementary also performed better than the district and state in English language arts.
A concerning issue across all schools in the 64057 zip code area is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.7%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the middle schools had higher percentages of free and reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 61.04% to 69.38%, suggesting that these schools may be serving a more economically disadvantaged student population. The variation in spending per student, with Little Blue Elementary having the highest spending, may indicate potential funding disparities that could impact the resources and support available to students.
