Summary:

The 65769 zip code area is home to two schools - Verona High School and Verona Elementary School, both part of the Verona R-VII school district. Based on the available data, these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state-wide averages, with low proficiency rates on standardized tests and below-average school rankings.

Verona High School is ranked 347 out of 378 Missouri high schools and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Verona Elementary School is ranked 561 out of 906 Missouri elementary schools with a 2-star rating. Both schools have relatively low proficiency rates in math and science compared to state averages.

The data also reveals that the schools in the 65769 zip code area face significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This may be a contributing factor to the schools' academic performance. While the schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios and higher per-student spending, the outcomes do not reflect the investment, suggesting a need to re-evaluate the effectiveness of resource utilization and explore alternative strategies to improve student learning.
