Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65655

Summary:

The 65655 zip code in Missouri is home to 3 schools serving students from preschool through high school, including Gainesville High, Gainesville Elementary, and Gainesville Preschool. These schools, part of the Gainesville R-V district, serve a predominantly White student population with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility.

Gainesville High School stands out for its strong performance in mathematics and Algebra I, outpacing both the state and district averages. In contrast, Gainesville Elementary School excels in 3rd, 5th, and 5th grade science, where it exceeds state and district proficiency levels. Both schools rank in the middle to upper tiers of Missouri schools, indicating a solid educational foundation.

Despite the academic strengths, the schools in the 65655 zip code face challenges related to their student demographics. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch eligibility, ranging from 67.57% to 75.58%, suggest a low-income student population that may require additional support and resources. Additionally, the lack of racial diversity, with the student bodies being predominantly White, is an area the district may want to address to provide a more inclusive learning environment.
