Summary:

The Fort Zumwalt School District is a high-performing school district in Missouri, serving over 18,000 students across 25 schools, including 17 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district is consistently ranked among the top in the state, with several standout schools that have maintained their excellence over the years.

At the high school level, Ft. Zumwalt West High School and Ft. Zumwalt South High School are consistently ranked among the top 10 high schools in Missouri, with 5-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These schools boast impressive test scores, high graduation rates, and low dropout rates. At the elementary level, Emge Elementary stands out as a top-performing school, ranked among the top 31 elementary schools in the state with a 5-star rating and exceptional test scores.

While the district overall performs well, there are some disparities in the free/reduced lunch rates and test scores among the schools, suggesting potential equity concerns. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 17.6% is higher than the desired level and may be an area for improvement. Nevertheless, the Fort Zumwalt School District remains a strong educational system, providing quality education to its students and serving as a model for other districts in the state.
