Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65018

Summary:

The 65018 zip code area is home to 3 schools serving grades K-12: California Elementary, California Middle, and California High, all part of the Moniteau County R-I school district. While the middle and high schools demonstrate consistent academic excellence, the elementary school faces challenges in meeting state benchmarks.

California Middle School stands out, ranking 96th out of 459 Missouri middle schools with a 4-star rating. It outperforms the state average in several key test score metrics, including mathematics and science. In contrast, California Elementary School lags behind the state averages in most subject areas, particularly in 3rd-grade mathematics. This underperformance, coupled with a higher free/reduced lunch rate, suggests the elementary school may face greater challenges in serving its student population.

California High School also excels, ranking 68th out of 352 Missouri high schools with a 4-star rating. The high school's 90% proficiency rate in Algebra II is significantly higher than the state average of 51.6%, indicating a strong focus on advanced mathematics. This exceptional performance in Algebra II may contribute to the school's overall high ranking among Missouri high schools.
