Summary:

The 64501 zip code area in Missouri is home to 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Carden Park Elementary and Edison Elementary) and 1 high school (Central High). While Carden Park Elementary stands out with stronger academic performance, the schools in this area face significant socioeconomic challenges, as evidenced by the extremely high percentages of free and reduced-price lunch recipients.

Carden Park Elementary has the highest percentage of students proficient or better in MAP/Mathematics and MAP/English Language Arts across multiple grade levels compared to the district and state averages. However, the school has a very high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 99.48%, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among its student population.

Central High has a relatively large student population of 1,728 students, and its performance on MAP assessments is generally below the district and state averages, with the exception of Algebra II and English II. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 149th out of 358 Missouri high schools in 2020-2021 to 213th out of 352 in 2022-2023, indicating a concerning trend that warrants further investigation.
