Summary:
The 65265 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Mexico 59 school district. While some schools, like Mexico Middle and Eugene Field Elementary, show promising performance in certain areas, the overall academic outcomes and school rankings suggest that the district may need to focus on improving educational quality and student achievement across the board.
Mexico Middle stands out as the highest-ranked school in the data set, ranking 312 out of 459 Missouri middle schools, and has the highest percentage of students proficient or better in Algebra I End of Course at 84%. Eugene Field Elementary also outperforms the district and state averages in most subject areas, including mathematics and English language arts, and has the highest percentage of 5th-grade students proficient or better in science at 37.9%.
However, all schools in the data set have high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 52.95% at Mexico High to 100% at Hawthorne Elementary, Eugene Field Elementary, and McMillan Early Learning Center, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations. Additionally, the schools generally underperform compared to state averages in most subject areas, with all schools ranked in the bottom half of their respective categories in the state, suggesting that the district as a whole may need to focus on improving academic outcomes.
