Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65257

Summary:

The 65257 zip code in Missouri is home to three underperforming schools: Higbee Elementary, Higbee High, and Higbee Middle School, all part of the Higbee R-VIII district. These schools consistently score below state averages on key metrics like test scores and proficiency rates, indicating systemic challenges that require further investigation and targeted interventions.

The data reveals that all three schools have significantly lower proficiency rates in math compared to state averages, with Higbee Elementary's 4th and 5th-grade math proficiency at just 17.6%, Higbee High's Algebra I proficiency at 6.2%, and Higbee Middle School's math proficiency ranging from 5.9% to 23% across grade levels. Additionally, the schools serve a relatively low-income student population, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 34.38% to 40.2%.

Despite the high spending per student at Higbee Elementary ($13,632) and Higbee High ($13,298), the academic outcomes do not reflect the investment, raising questions about the effectiveness of resource allocation. Furthermore, the small student enrollments at Higbee High (64 students) and Higbee Middle School (45 students) may impact the availability of educational resources and opportunities for students in the area. Addressing these challenges will be crucial to improving educational outcomes for the students in the 65257 zip code.
