Summary:
The 65284 zip code area is home to three schools - Sturgeon Elementary, Sturgeon High, and Sturgeon Middle - all part of the Sturgeon R-V school district. While the schools have some standout elements, they also face challenges in areas like academic performance and serving a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Sturgeon High School is a bright spot, ranking in the top half of Missouri high schools and outperforming the district and state averages on the Biology I End of Course exam. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.8, which could indicate more individualized attention for students. In contrast, Sturgeon Middle School is a top-performing middle school, ranking in the top quarter of Missouri middle schools, and outperforming the district and state on 6th-grade math and 8th-grade science MAP exams.
However, the schools in the 65284 zip code area face some challenges. All three schools have relatively high free/reduced lunch rates, ranging from 36.36% to 45.63%, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the schools generally underperform the state averages on MAP exams, with the exception of Sturgeon High School's Biology I exam. The data suggests opportunities for the schools to focus on improving math and science instruction, as well as addressing the unique needs of their economically disadvantaged student populations.
