Summary:
The 64840 zip code area in Missouri is home to three schools - Diamond Elementary, Diamond High, and Diamond Middle - all of which are part of the Diamond R-IV district. Unfortunately, the data indicates that these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state averages across key metrics like test scores and school rankings.
The test scores for all three schools are significantly lower than the state averages, with the highest proficiency rate being in 5th grade science at Diamond Elementary, where 55.4% scored proficient or better compared to the state average of 40.9%. Additionally, the schools have low statewide rankings, with Diamond Elementary, Diamond High, and Diamond Middle ranking 459th, 265th, and 323rd in their respective categories in Missouri, and all being rated 1 or 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
The high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 47.18% at Diamond High to 55.69% at Diamond Middle, suggest that socioeconomic challenges in the community may be impacting the schools' performance. While the spending per student is relatively consistent across the three schools, the data indicates a need for targeted interventions and improvement strategies to address the systemic issues and help these schools better serve their students.
