Summary:
The 64874 zip code area is home to two public schools, Wheaton Elementary and Wheaton High, both part of the Wheaton R-III school district. Unfortunately, these schools appear to be consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores, poor school rankings, and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Wheaton Elementary and Wheaton High both struggle with proficiency rates on MAP tests that are significantly below state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, Wheaton Elementary's 4th grade math proficiency rate is just 13.7%, compared to the state average of 43.8%. Similarly, Wheaton High's 7th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate is 19.2%, well below the state average of 37.3%. Both schools also have low rankings, with Wheaton Elementary ranked 826 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools and Wheaton High ranked 294 out of 361 Missouri high schools.
The data suggests that the Wheaton R-III school district may need to focus on improving educational outcomes, particularly in the areas of math and English language arts. Addressing resource allocation, teaching quality, and student support services could be potential areas for improvement. While the schools have some demographic differences, with Wheaton High serving a higher percentage of Asian students, the overall picture is one of consistently low performance that requires further investigation and targeted interventions to better serve the students in this community.
