Summary:
The 64061 zip code area is home to two schools - Kingsville Elementary and Kingsville High, both part of the Kingsville R-I school district. Unfortunately, the data reveals that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores, high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and a lack of racial diversity.
Both Kingsville Elementary and Kingsville High have significantly lower proficiency rates on standardized tests compared to the state average. For example, in 3rd grade math, Kingsville Elementary had only 18.7% proficiency, far below the state average of 41.1%. Similarly, Kingsville High's 8th grade math proficiency rate was just 5.5%, compared to the state average of 30%. These low test scores suggest that the schools are struggling to provide students with the necessary academic support and resources.
Additionally, the schools serve a relatively low-income student population, with Kingsville Elementary having a free/reduced lunch rate of 41.84% and Kingsville High at 35.4%. While the schools spend more per student than the state average, this higher spending has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The lack of racial diversity in these schools, with both having a student population that is over 90% white, may also be a contributing factor to their underperformance. Overall, the data indicates that the schools in the 64061 zip code area face significant challenges that need to be addressed to improve the educational opportunities for their students.
