The 64755 zip code area is home to two schools - Jasper County Elementary and Jasper County High School, both part of the Jasper County R-V district. While Jasper County Elementary is a solid performer, ranking in the top 50% of Missouri elementary schools, Jasper County High School is struggling, ranking in the bottom 30% of high schools in the state.
Jasper County Elementary stands out with strong 3rd-grade math proficiency, low chronic absenteeism, and a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
