Best Public Schools in Zip Code 64742

Summary:

The 64742 zip code area is home to two schools - Drexel Elementary and Drexel High, both part of the Drexel R-IV school district. Unfortunately, the data analysis suggests that these schools are underperforming compared to state-wide averages, with both Drexel Elementary and Drexel High receiving low rankings and ratings from SchoolDigger.

Drexel Elementary is ranked 782 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and has a 1-star rating, while Drexel High is ranked 367 out of 460 Missouri high schools and also has a 1-star rating. Both schools struggle with low proficiency rates in core subjects like Math, Science, and English Language Arts, significantly trailing the state averages. Additionally, the district as a whole is ranked 350 out of 376 districts in Missouri and has a 0-star rating, indicating that the challenges faced by these schools are likely systemic within the district.

Despite relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the schools in the 64742 zip code area are not meeting the academic needs of their students. The racial demographics of both schools are predominantly white, which may suggest potential equity issues within the district. Further investigation is needed to identify the root causes of the poor performance and develop targeted strategies to improve student learning and achievement in this area.
