Summary:
The 65550 zip code area is home to two schools - Newburg High and Newburg Elementary, both part of the Newburg R-II school district. Unfortunately, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state-wide metrics, with both schools receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently ranking in the bottom tiers of their respective school types in Missouri.
Newburg High is ranked 288 out of 352 Missouri high schools, while Newburg Elementary is ranked 741 out of 898 Missouri elementary schools. Both schools have significantly below-average test scores across all subjects and grade levels. Socioeconomic factors may play a role, as Newburg High has a 54.81% free/reduced lunch rate, and Newburg Elementary has a 66.49% free/reduced lunch rate. Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools' performance suggests that the available resources are not being effectively utilized.
The lack of diversity in these schools, with Newburg Elementary having over 93% white students, may also limit the educational experience for the students. The consistent underperformance of these schools over time indicates that they face systemic challenges that have not been adequately addressed. Targeted interventions and support programs to address the needs of the economically disadvantaged student populations, as well as a closer examination of resource allocation and utilization, could be potential areas for improvement in the Newburg R-II school district.
