Best Public Schools in Zip Code 64779

Summary:

The 64779 zip code is home to two schools, Rich Hill High and Rich Hill Elementary, both part of the Rich Hill R-IV school district. While Rich Hill High has seen a significant improvement in its state-wide ranking, both schools face challenges in academic performance, particularly in core subject areas.

Rich Hill High School has made notable strides, moving from 395th out of 468 Missouri high schools in 2017-2018 to 192nd out of 352 in 2022-2023. This impressive jump in performance is further bolstered by the school's 100% four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year, well above the state average. However, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics still lag behind state averages, indicating room for improvement.

In contrast, Rich Hill Elementary School's performance has declined, with its state-wide ranking dropping from the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 to the middle of the pack, ranking 487th out of 901 in 2020-2021. Both schools serve a student population with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting the community faces significant economic challenges. While the relatively small class sizes at both schools could be a strength, addressing the academic performance issues, particularly at the elementary level, will be crucial for the district's overall success.
