Summary:
The 65713 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Niangua R-V school district. Unfortunately, these schools appear to be consistently underperforming compared to state averages, with low test scores, poor school rankings, and a lack of diversity among the student populations.
Across all three schools, proficiency rates on state assessments are significantly below Missouri's averages, with as few as 9.1% of 5th graders at Niangua Elementary scoring proficient or better in math. The schools are also ranked in the bottom half of their respective types statewide, with Niangua Elementary and Niangua Middle School in the bottom 20%. Additionally, the student populations are overwhelmingly white, with Niangua High being 100% white, and high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite relatively low student-teacher ratios and moderate per-student spending, the schools in the 65713 zip code area continue to struggle, suggesting systemic challenges that may need to be addressed. The decline in Niangua High School's statewide ranking over the past few years is also a concerning trend that warrants further investigation. Addressing the underlying issues, such as low test scores, poor school rankings, and lack of diversity, will be crucial for improving outcomes and ensuring that all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
