Summary:
The 64507 zip code area in Missouri is home to 6 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 3 traditional public schools, 1 middle school, 1 alternative school, and 1 treatment center. While the schools exhibit a range of academic performance, Ellison Elementary stands out as the highest-performing, consistently ranking among the top 100 elementary schools in the state. In contrast, Mark Twain Elementary lags significantly behind, ranking in the bottom 20% of Missouri elementary schools.
The schools in this zip code serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with most having free/reduced lunch rates over 99%. This likely presents challenges in providing adequate resources and support. The student racial makeup varies, with Riverbend Treatment Center having the highest percentage of African American students at 55%. Spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not appear to be strongly correlated with academic performance, suggesting other factors are driving the differences in outcomes.
Overall, the analysis highlights the significant variation in school quality and student achievement within a single zip code area. Understanding the unique characteristics and challenges of each school is crucial for identifying targeted interventions and support to improve educational outcomes for all students in the St. Joseph school district, as well as the specialized populations served by the Mo Schls For The Sev Disabled and Division Of Youth Service districts.
