Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65259


Summary:

The 65259 zip code area is home to two schools - Westran Elementary and Westran High, both part of the Westran R-I school district. While these schools serve a relatively low-income student population, they have seen a decline in their statewide rankings in recent years, indicating a need for improvement in academic performance.

Westran Elementary is ranked 511 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools, with lower proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts compared to the state average, particularly in 5th grade Mathematics. However, the school has a relatively high proficiency rate in 5th grade Science. Westran High is ranked 211 out of 352 Missouri high schools, with lower proficiency rates in Algebra I and Biology I compared to the state average.

Both schools have a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a focus on serving a low-income population. While the spending per student is higher than the state average, it's unclear if this additional funding is being effectively utilized to improve student outcomes. The schools do have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could indicate a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.
