Best Public Schools in Zip Code 65707

Summary:

The 65707 zip code area is home to two schools - Central Elementary and Miller High, both part of the Miller R-II school district. While Central Elementary consistently ranks in the top half of Missouri elementary schools and demonstrates strong academic performance, Miller High faces challenges in Mathematics and overall proficiency levels.

Central Elementary stands out with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently strong performance on state assessments, exceeding the state average in several subjects and grade levels. However, the school also has a relatively high free/reduced lunch rate of 64.33%, indicating a high-need student population. In contrast, Miller High boasts a high graduation rate of 96.7%, significantly higher than the state average, and has improved its statewide ranking in the 2023-2024 school year.

Both schools face the common challenge of higher-than-desired chronic absenteeism rates, which can negatively impact student learning and achievement. Addressing this issue, as well as the contrasting performance profiles between the elementary and high school, could be key focus areas for the district to ensure a seamless educational experience and continued academic progress for students in the 65707 zip code area.
