Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65254

Summary:

The 65254 zip code is home to two underperforming schools: Glasgow High and Glasgow Elementary. Both schools are struggling to meet state averages on key metrics like test scores and school rankings, indicating a need for significant improvements to provide quality education to their students.

On standardized tests, Glasgow High has proficiency rates in Math (22.7%) and ELA (22.7%) that are well below the state averages of 39.5% and 37.3%, respectively. Similarly, Glasgow Elementary has a 3rd grade Math proficiency rate of just 8.3%, compared to the state average of 41.1%. Both schools also have low 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger, ranking in the bottom third of Missouri high schools and elementary schools.

The high free/reduced lunch rates at both Glasgow High (32.12%) and Glasgow Elementary (38.02%) indicate a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which can present additional challenges. While the schools have relatively small class sizes with low student-teacher ratios, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. Overall, the data suggests the Glasgow school district has room for improvement to better serve the students in the 65254 zip code.
