Best Public Schools in Zip Code 64506

Summary:

The 64506 zip code area in Missouri is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Field Elementary and Coleman Elementary) and 1 middle school (Bode Middle). While the schools serve the same general community, their academic performance varies significantly.

Field Elementary stands out as the top performer, ranking 197 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating. Its students excel in both math and English language arts, with test scores well above the St. Joseph district and state averages. In contrast, Coleman Elementary lags behind, ranking 674 out of 906 and struggling with significantly lower test scores across all grade levels.

Despite the high spending per student (ranging from $9,875 to $11,306) and reasonable student-teacher ratios, the schools in the 64506 zip code area face challenges, including chronic absenteeism rates around 27.7% - well above the state average. The data suggests that factors beyond just student demographics and poverty levels are driving the differences in academic outcomes, and targeted interventions may be needed to address the performance gaps between the schools.
