The 65610 zip code area is home to two schools - Billings Elementary and Billings Senior High, both part of the Billings R-IV school district. Based on the available data, these schools are performing below state averages on most academic metrics, with low statewide rankings and ratings.

Both Billings Elementary and Billings Senior High have 1-star ratings from SchoolDigger, ranking 806 out of 906 and 267 out of 378 in their respective categories in Missouri. The schools struggle with low test scores, with proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts well below state averages. For example, Billings Elementary's 4th-grade mathematics proficiency rate is 14.4%, compared to the state average of 44.4%.

The high free/reduced lunch rates at both schools, 45.42% at Billings Elementary and 36.36% at Billings Senior High, suggest that these schools serve a student population facing significant economic challenges. While the data shows high per-student spending, the academic outcomes raise questions about the effective allocation of resources and the need for targeted interventions or support. Despite these challenges, Billings Senior High reported a 100% four-year graduation rate, a positive indicator amidst the overall low performance.
