The 63021 zip code area is home to 9 elementary schools across two school districts - Rockwood R-VI and Parkway C-2. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and showcase a range of academic performance, with several standout institutions leading the way.

The top-performing elementary schools in the 63021 area are Barretts Elementary and Oak Brook Elementary, both part of the Parkway C-2 district. These schools consistently rank among the top 30-239 elementary schools in Missouri, with exceptional math and English language arts proficiency rates. In contrast, schools like Carman Trails Elementary and Sorrento Springs Elementary have more mixed academic results.

Across the 63021 zip code, there are some common trends. Chronic absenteeism rates are higher than the state average, ranging from 15-17% at all schools. Additionally, there is a clear correlation between a school's free/reduced lunch rate and its academic performance, with the highest-performing schools having the lowest poverty levels. While spending per student varies, it does not appear to be the primary driver of school success. Student-teacher ratios, however, may play a role, as the top-ranked schools tend to have lower ratios, allowing for more individualized attention.
