Summary:

The 63012 zip code area has only one elementary school, James E. Freer Elementary, which serves grades PK-2 and is part of the Windsor C-1 school district. The district is ranked 144 out of 367 in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

James E. Freer Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.7 and spends $15,719 per student, which are positive factors. However, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 14.2% and 30.77% of its students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a need to address attendance and support for economically disadvantaged students. The school's performance has fluctuated over the years, ranking as low as 749th out of 1,084 Missouri elementary schools in 2007-2008 and as high as 528th out of 1,074 in 2005-2006.

Overall, James E. Freer Elementary appears to have some strengths, such as its low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, but also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism and a large population of economically disadvantaged students. The school's performance has varied over time, and addressing these key areas could be important for improving the educational experience for students in the 63012 zip code area.
